Running The Race In The Wrong Direction M y Allen

LYNN 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. Lynn 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 fifty years, Lynn 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? How was he to unravel all of what he believed and knew in order to find what was true and correct?What was he to tell his family, his friends, his colleagues? What was he to tell himself?Follow Lynn Allen as he absorbs the influences that shape his early life, that form his Christian beliefs, that lead him to commit a quarter of a century to Christian Missionary work and eventually to settle in Eretz Israel. 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, and to a home in The Holy Land.
