Summary: Fantastic! An absorbing, compelling account.
Review: I have given away more copies of this book than any other. It is an engrossing first-person account of one man's struggle and journey to faith. Art hides no thoughts and hides no flaws - he explores and exposes his sins and failings as he gropes through the meaninglessness of the relativistic and atheistic modern world he once revelled in and helped promote to the culmination of his search in an encounter with the Living God of Israel - in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. Whether you are a Jew or a Gentile, a believer or a non-believer, you will be challenged and stirred by this book. It is to be republished soon, possibly under the name APPREHENDED BY GOD.

Summary: Don't waste $0.01 on a used copy as I did
Review: I highly recommend the reading of this book for both religious and non-religious people alike. It is thought provoking, entertaining, and probably for some, life changing. It honestly is one of those books that years from now, when you are sitting around with your friends talking about memorable books and movies, you will think of with great fondness.

Review: This book is written by a very self-absorbed man with an extremely protracted adolescence. He wanders the earth backpacking a la 70's style looking for himelf and the answers of the world on this jouney. He has many affairs on the way, impregnates a woman, while a wife is left back at home in a mental institution all during the jouney.Apparently he proposes that he found all the answers he seeked at the end of the book---he converts from Judaism to Christianity. Although he didn't seem to really have much understanding about Judaism at the start. I don't get how he arrives at this conversion, he waxes on so poetically, as the beatnick poet he imagines his life to be. And I am convinced he's just as messed up at the end of the book(where he claims he's found Jesus and the answers to his great quest) as he was in the beginning. Or more so. It disgusted me as a Jew that some guy---a selfish loser--- treats it all so poorly. And takes himself this seriously.
