This story is so good because it is true. It starts with one Jewish man finding Jesus and becoming a Christian. This young man was the hope and pride of his father but now he is dead to him. It becomes his life's work to be a missionary to the Jews in Argentina, in London and Danzig. It was not easy to be a Jew in Europe during WW I and WW II. His amazing wife and children support him in his missionary efforts. They are often suspect because they speak German and are Jewish.
I really enjoyed this book, a personal history intertwined with world history.
