Dear Librarian, One of the consequences of living in our melting pot culture is that we are in danger of losing connections to our past—the family, ethnic and religious histories—that shape identity. That's a personal issue for me. I'm Jewish, but my family tree disappears in the fog of Eastern Europe. The blank spaces moved me to write ABRAHAM'S CHILDEN: RACE, IDENTITY AND THE DNA OF THE CHOSEN PEOPLE. Interested in the real story of our Biblical past? This book will surprise you. How did Jesus transform the notion of blood ancestry. It's here. Curious about the validity of those who claims links to the Lost Tribes, including by Africans? DNA resolves the mysteries. Why are Jews prone to genetic breast cancer and score so high on IQ tests? There may be a common explanation—in our genes. I hope you'll read this book...and if you like it, recommend it to eager readers! Thanks, Jon (from Cincinnati) www.abrahamschildren.net
