Memoir of a Jewish American Christian: Vol. 1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781482671872)

This Memoir is about ten years in the life of the author, from age 6 to age 16. Those years are not seen through the filter of Freudian complexes. Nor is childhood seen through the prism of John Dewey's instrumentalism where one happily accommodates to one's place in a godless, secular, humanist, industrial society. Nor is his childhood heroic like that of Helen Keller. It is about his mother's isolation and his bitterness towards her, his father's macho cynicism, his competitive bright schoolmates, and his persecution at the hands of a son of Nazi German immigrants. The author's story is tender and alive. It is a nostalgic look backwards, yet at the same time a record of how God freed him from the sins and misunderstandings that were grown during those formative years. He recounts his childhood themes, reflecting upon the grace of God's forgiveness, love, mercy, and compassion. .
