Book excerpt: From Nazareth to Babylon challenges us to re-evaluate our understanding of everything we know about life and the world at large. The author creatively alludes to some of the most pressing issues of our time while narrating his interesting journey to the United States from a place he figuratively refers to as Nazareth, the infamous birthplace of Jesus the Christ. This memoir touches almost every major aspect of the human experience—love, the family, relationship, parenting, world peace, and most provocatively, our understanding of world history and the Judeo-Christian Bible. The author recounts his journey from Nazareth to Babylon in a unique way. If there is any piece of literature worth reading during these trying times, From Nazareth to Babylon is what one needs to quench the thirst for truth and meaning.
