Ruth H. Sohn - Crossing Cairo: A Jewish Woman's Encounter with Egypt

Ruth H. Sohn

Crossing Cairo: A Jewish Woman's Encounter with Egypt

Ruth Sohn’s Crossing Cairo is simply FASCINATING. A treasure-trove of candid reflections on society, religion, politics, history and national memory in today’s Egypt. I strongly recommend the book for anyone interested in Egypt or planning to visit it.

God's Prayer: The Sacred Task of Living

Michael L. Kagan

God's Prayer: The Sacred Task of Living

God’s Prayer reaches the deepest spirituality through prayer/poetry, modern day psalms that guide the reader into realms seldom reached. These prayers are for all humanity and cut across religious lines to include Jews, Christians and Muslims. Michael Kagan leads us to pray for all God’s children and for all life.



The Rabbi Wore Moccasins by Rabbi Arthur Gross Schaefer

Arthur Gross Schaefer

The Rabbi Wore Moccasins

Jews, American Indians, Spirituality and Ethics Wrapped into a Page Turning Mystery



Ancient riddles wrapped in spiritual enigmas inside a page-turning mystery, The Rabbi Wore Moccasins calls to mind The Celestine Prophecy, Mutant Message Down Under, and The Way of the Peaceful Warrior - all journeys that make you think, feel, and stay up very late reading!

Cheri Steinkellner - Emmy, Golden Globe and Writers Guild Award writer and producer of Cheers, Broadway writer of Sister Act and Hello! My Baby

Not just a good strong mystery but an irresistible inside look into places we rarely get to see.

Jeff Arch – Oscar and academy award nominee screenwriter for Sleepless in Seattle

Professor/Rabbi Gross-Schaefer has blessed us with a rabbi sleuth reminiscent of Harry Kellerman with a taste of Tony Hillerman, and the lucky reader of this absorbing mystery will come away with wisdom from two traditions.

Malka Drucker - author of 20 books including the award winning Frida Kahlo, Rescuers: Portraits of Moral Courage in the Holocaust.
