They Looked for a City

This wonderful book will have you laughing and crying through every single chapter. It is one of the finest books ever written about the TRUE LIFE saga of a Jewish family at the turn of the century and how they came to terms with the Christian faith in a time of great turmoil. Both I and my wife enjoyed this book like few that we have ever read. It is TRULY an inspiration and a classic to those who know that GOD can (and does) lead people by His precious Holy Spirit to a knowledge of His ways and His salvation. Highly recommended. And an exceedingly well written narrative.

I am in the process of reading this book now. It is really quite good; particularly for a reader who is interested in comparative religion, history of religion, or one who is examining spirituality. All these apply to me. My copy, a 1955 edition, was lent to me by a very dear lady about a year ago. I am so glad I did not return it unread, as I had planned! I almost feel like Mrs. Buksbazen had me in mind when she wrote it. I am sure that many Orthodox Jews will understandably resent its content. I can appreciate that sentiment. But I also am happy I decided to read it. It speaks to ME.

this book is a MUST read. it is the story of Yente (written by her daughter). it is a love story, a story about REAL faith, a story of courage and a story of hope. if you want to be drawn in, challanged, lifted up, inspired, humbled, and you are serious about your faith, or are seeking God..... read this book!
