Description: "In At the Entrance to the Garden of Eden, Halevi describes his unprecedented and extraordinary spiritual journey to discover, as a religious Israeli Jew, a common spiritual language with his Christian and Muslim neighbors in the Holy Land.".

"Halevi candidly reveals how he fought to resolve his own fears and anger as a Jew and came to relate to Christians and Muslims as fellow spiritual seekers. He chronicles the difficulty of overcoming obstacles - theological, political, historical, and psychological - that separate believers of the three monotheistic faiths.

And he introduces a dynamic range of fascinating individuals attempting to reconcile the dichotomous heart of this sacred place - a struggle central to Israel, but which resonates for us all."--BOOK JACKET.
