This book could have started with "Once upon a time there was a Jewish boy who had a dream...." because it describes the life of a personality who was driven by a strong destiny, fueled by the discovery of Jesus as the Messiah of history and with a plan to save mankind from self destruction. He became a renowned biblical researcher, the founder of a world nation and was to influence both the meek and the mighty. He was a radical thinker and a man of action supported by a wife of equal strength and determination. Often the subject of the most vitriolic and unjustifiable attacks, he remained true to his vision and principles throughout his life. By unveiling considerable previously unpublished sources, the real man behind the 'Passover Plot' is brought alive to the reader.
