LAMENT FOR A FATHER

Description

MARVIN OLASKY

World editor in chief Marvin Olasky draws on his investigative journalist skills to uncover his father’s past. He follows Eli Olasky’s story from his Orthodox Jewish childhood in Boston to his days as a Harvard student to his traumatic untold experiences in concentration camps during World War II to his embrace of Reconstructionist Judaism, describing a “spiritual and psychological death by one thousand cuts”.  Marvin shares his own journey to faith and the wisdom he’s gained from a difficult parent-child relationship, reminding readers of God’s saving grace that has the power to heal, redeem, and restore.
