Rabbi Zaslow has done a tremendous service to Christians and Jews alike—this book is wonderful!

Christian readers will find their faith stirred by reading this book on their own, or as shared reading with Jewish friends. Renewal is coming to faith by learning in the presence of the other...Add to this the restorative power the world has awaited to heal centuries of religious enmity and mistrust and hatred and bloodshed.

It is as if Jesus has been holding his breath, waiting for this time. —Rev. Dr. Joseph Ward, D.Min., Presbyterian Church USA
