Customer Reviews

Terrific!

Hi, everybody! Wow, this book was one of those inspiring ones. History, traditions, love, courage, will -- all seen through the prizm of communication of children with parents. FAITH is different for everyone. Erich Seagal let readers see how different people imagine faith. Even those who do not believe in any POWER(s), unconsciously act by faith and with faith. Very delightful book.

One of my all time favorite books

My all time favorite books, a little slow in the middle but well worth the wait

BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ

This book kept me turning pages faster than you can imagine. It was unbeleivable, the way that Daniel, Deborah and Timothy met as kids, going through their lives, their sad moments, thier moments of passion. As a 16 year old I am encouraged to read and this book is on my list for my cousins birthday, its great!

one of the most attaching books you could ever fall upon

this is a book about tolerance, faith, introspection, looking for oneself, and finding oneself; in a very innocent atmosphere, you are dragged in what is one of the big contemporary problems: faith v/s love.

** Easy to read, follow, understand and indentify with **

If there is someone who can describe the extremes of the Jewish and Christian religions it's Erich Segal. His knowledge in those fields is amazing. Segal gives intresting and amazing facts about the extreme Jewish way of life, things that me, as a secular Jewish person have never known. He has definately broadened my knowledge in that area. And for that I must thank him. Besides that, Segal's book is surprisingly easy to follow, and so intresting you wouldn't want to put it down. It has contributed to my life a lot, has given me a lot to think about, and I would recommend it to just about anyone
