The Messiah and Me: How a Jewish Girl from New Jersey Survived the Sixties and Found Faith Where She Least Expected

The Messiah and Me is the story of a Jewish girl who accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior despite a longstanding aversion to anything even remotely associated with Christianity. The story begins in New Jersey and describes how the author's early exposure to Catholicism informed her thinking and understanding of Christianity throughout her childhood and adolescence. The narrative takes the reader on a spiritual journey across the country and through many of the experiences that characterized the 1960s. As the author describes her search for understanding, she deconstructs many of the misconceptions about Jesus and re-presents him as the Jewish Messiah. The Messiah and Me offers a conservative, yet contemporary, view of Christianity, contrasting it with post-modern views on religion and morality. This is a book that can correct misconceptions, break down barriers, and open the door for both Jews and Gentiles to embark upon a personal relationship with the Messiah.
