My Jesus Year

Raised as an Orthodox Jew and the son of a rabbi, Benyamin Cohen grew up fascinated by the church across the street from his childhood home.  Struck by a crisis of faith, and not long after marrying the converted daughter of a Baptist minister, he decided to see if Jesus could lead him back to Judaism by embarking on an Oz-like journey on which he visited a myriad of denominational churches.  In the end, Cohen found that his yarmulke had similar powers as Dorothy's red shoes.  My Jesus Year is a story of guilt, longing, surprise, wonder, and humor. Cohen's story has universal appeal. You need not be Jewish, Christian or observant to enjoy this book!
