"This is the true story of a Jewish boy who was persecuted as a child in Philadelphia, and who, after reading the Bible at age seventeen, became a Christian, believing that Jesus was his messiah. He went on to graduate from Temple University and struggled to remain in the Jewish world while being a Christian. His parents were disappointed, as were his Jewish friends, so he joined the Army as a private. Along with the inspiration, this book relates hilarious military stories that Gary lived through. He went on to acquire a ThD and became an Army chaplain, eventually rising to the rank of colonel."-- Back cover.
