Jewish history is the key to understanding the Jewish world and general world history. The absence of readable Jewish history books that reflect the Jewish view of the events of millennia has contributed to Jewish assimilation and loss of Jewish identity. Rabbi Ken Spiro has written an excellent one-volume review of the story of the Jewish people over the past millennia. It provides easy reading regarding an otherwise detailed and complicated subject. Reading this book will help give one a better perspective on today’s world and especially a sense of positive self-identity for the modern Jew.

Rabbi Ken Spiro has written a comprehensive, thoughtful, and highly educational survey of Jewish history in its widest aspects, giving the reader an insight into who the Jews are, what they have experienced through time, their leaders in thought and action through the millennia, and their religious life and heritage: above all, the ‘miracle’ of faith, creativity and continuity that they have preserved for mankind.

Destiny compares the universal plot line of the great Hollywood epics with the major themes and events of Jewish history to show that what humanity views as the greatest drama in fiction and fantasy is – in reality -the true story, mission and destiny of the Jewish people. It is a true-life saga you won’t want to miss – this story is real, and humanity is fast approaching the dramatic climax.
Ken Spiro, in a fascinating and spot-on analysis of Jewish history, has cleverly illustrated the uncanny parallels between the historic journey of the Jewish people and the protagonists in the most popular Hollywood films of the twenty-first century. His writing is not only well-researched and incredibly descriptive, but also refreshing, whimsical, and often hilarious. Using imaginative and beautifully drawn artwork, this book makes thousands of years of Jewish history relevant and relatable to the modern reader.
