A CLASSIC CHRISTIAN book of biography and inspiration

This wonderful book will have you laughing and crying through every single chapter. It is one of the finest books ever written about the TRUE LIFE saga of a Jewish family at the turn of the century and how they came to terms with the Christian faith in a time of great turmoil. Both I and my wife enjoyed this book like few that we have ever read. It is TRULY an inspiration and a classic to those who know that GOD can (and does) lead people by His precious Holy Spirit to a knowledge of His ways and His salvation. Highly recommended. And an exceedingly well written narrative.

They Looked For A City

I am in the process of reading this book now. It is really quite good; particularly for a reader who is interested in comparative religion, history of religion, or one who is examining spirituality. All these apply to me. My copy, a 1955 edition, was lent to me by a very dear lady about a year ago. I am so glad I did not return it unread, as I had planned! I almost feel like Mrs. Buksbazen had me in mind when she wrote it. I am sure that many Orthodox Jews will understandably resent its content. I can appreciate that sentiment. But I also am happy I decided to read it. It speaks to ME.

story of Yente, a remarkable woman extra-ordinaire

this book is a MUST read. it is the story of Yente (written by her daughter). it is a love story, a story about REAL faith, a story of courage and a story of hope. if you want to be drawn in, challanged, lifted up, inspired, humbled, and you are serious about your faith, or are seeking God..... read this book!
