L.F. ALLEN grew up in a small Midwestern town far from the influence of anything Jewish.He grew up believing a religion that told him Judaism was dead.
He committed everything he had to the pursuit and fulfillment of his religious beliefs: his health, his wealth, his energy, his family. Then, after running the race for forty-five years, L. F. Allen discovered he had been running in the wrong direction!
He committed everything he had to the pursuit and fulfillment of his religious beliefs: his health, his wealth, his energy, his family. Then, after running the race for forty-five years, L. F. Allen discovered he had been running in the wrong direction!
What was he to do now? How was he going to fix things? Where was he to begin? What was he to tell his family, his friends, his colleagues? What was he to tell himself?
Follow L. F. Allen as he absorbs the influences that shape his early life, that form his Christian beliefs and lead him to commit forty-five years to Christian Missionary work. Witness the fascinating metamorphosis that threatens to undo him, and the abundant kindness that eventually ushers him into the Tents of Jacob, the world of Orthodox Judaism.
