My Road Home is the moving and unique story of a secular Jewish boy from North London who was converted to Christianity after surviving his tumultuous teen years, and told by the “church” and his family that he was no longer Jewish. At thirty-six, he was ordained into the Anglican Church. Nine years later, he reluctantly visited Israel, where he had a life-changing encounter with God. While praying at the Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem he believed God spoke to him, saying, “Michael, you are Jew first.” This encounter led Michael on an exciting new journey which eventually led to his being appointed rector of Christ Church in Jerusalem. Michael believed this was the final chapter of his “road home.” But years later, when forced to leave his position, he and his wife applied to make Aliyah (become citizens of Israel). Miraculously, their request was granted in six weeks’ time; and so began the true final chapter—and maybe the happiest—of Michael’s life. Sadly and unexpectedly, Michael died in 2012. This revised edition tells the story of his last years and the amazing details of how God brought his life full circle.
