A Vision of Love for Christians and Jews - Max Amichai Heppner - Bog

Joy L. Smith, a certified chaplain and mental health counselor, accompanied Max Amichai Heppner on his lengthy journey from a reclusive Holocaust survivor to enthusiastic promoter of love. In her Foreword to A Vision of Love, she describes her reaction early in their relationship: "Something striking happened. I was no longer with a stranger . . . I was with a Jew and I knew in an instant that we were praying to the same God."She ends by saying, "There's no good reason why Jews and Christians cannot love and treasure one another. Christians believe that 'God is love.' Jews believe the same! If you need convincing on this score, please read this book. It will expand your heart. Ask yourself, 'Why should I limit love to just my own family, my own religious congregation or denomination? Why would we not want peace, justice, and equality to rule our hearts and guide our ways?'"
