Timeless Story

I thought that this book was well written and researched. It takes place in the times of Christ as seen through the eyes of a Jewish youth, Levi, and his family. The author uses a multi-dimensional approach for his story telling. On the one level, there is the struggle of accepting Christ and his teachings. On the other level, there is the struggle of a son's belief differing with those of his parents. Both struggles still exist today. The timelessness of these two literary threads weave a wonderful story. This book will appeal to new Christians wanting to understand more of Christ's teachings as told from the viewpoint of a seeker. And mature Christians because of the insight given from the prospective of "being there" during Christ's life. I would definitely recommend this book.

Separated by the Cross

This is an excellent, enlightening and entertaining book. It educates the new Christian, enlightens the non-believer and is entertaining and comforting to the mature Christian. The author has a good grasp of biblical history as well as a depth of understanding of the coming of Christ. It highlights many conflicts that exist today between parent and child, or Christian and Jew. Well worth the read.

Inspiring - "Separated by the Cross"

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book as it is a very vivid look at what life may have been for a uniquely-chosen Jewish family around the time of Christ's death, burial and resurrection. The characters in this book are written in a very realistic style....so much so that one feels that he or she is walking the streets of Jerusalem along with the stories main dramatic players. The literary drama within the pages of this book makes you feel as if you are seeing the events of Christ's life unfold before your very eyes. The author does an excellent job of portraying the Jewish communities disbelief that Jesus was the long-awaited Christ; however, through the character of Levi, the events of Christ's life were shown to be prophetic fulfillments of Biblical scripture written long ago. I would definitely recommend this book for any new Christians wanting to understand the life of Christ with a more personal perspective, or for seasoned Christians who just want to savor the love that our Savior showed all mankind through His death on the cross. I rate this book as a definite must-read.

Separated by the Cross is a powerful story of a family as they journey from their home in Scythopolis to Jerusalem for the Passover holiday. Come with them as they embark on a life changing adventure that is sure to leave them at odds with one another. Visit with them as they see the events of Jesus' last week on earth, and watch as the story unfolds from this family's point of view. See things not from the prospective of the Gospels, but of a young boy and his family. Life for a first century Jew was difficult enough, now made even harder by the decision they all must make; to either continue to follow the traditions and the laws set down by Moses, or follow this man who has done wondrous miracles and spoken the word of God like no one else ever has. Frank DeLeo was born in New York and attended Stony Brook University. He now lives in Colleyville, Texas with his wife Dawn and four sons Jon, Michael, Steven and Thomas. Frank has worked in the financial services industry for the past 29 years. He attends Irving Bible Church in Irving, Texas, and is involved in many ministries. This is Frank's first book and he is excited about the potential it has to reach many people for the Kingdom of God.
