Michael, Michael, Why Do You Hate Me?

I read this book with interest and an appetite to learn about a Jew who fought to convince his Christian wife that he had converted. Being a Christian, I thought it would be completely different. I expected it to be a story where a Jew was missing something in his life and found that conversion to Christianity was the answer. It made sense to me. But as I read, I realized that it is a lot to ask a person of the Jewish faith to simply accept that Jesus was the Son of God and our Redeemer. I do love the way that Michael uses his education in languages and his knowledge of the Bible to fool people and convince them that he has converted. It is amusing and ironic how he can do this and yet learn that God is always there waiting and His Son will always be willing to take on your sins and pay for them. He goes a long way to fight it and in the process learns to trust and to believe in this new to him faith. It is a well written easy read and I think you will enjoy folling Michael Esses through this journey.
