Jews from very different worlds and generations, Uri Geller and Rabbi Shmuley Boteach met by chance, yet quickly recognized their common bond, their kindred natures. Geller, a fifty-two year-old paranormalist -- world-famous for his ability to bend metal with his mind and find oil in the desert -- becomes an unlikely mentor to Boteach, twenty years his junior. Boteach, in turn, emerges as a spiritual sounding board, a wise and compassionate friend to Geller as each of them struggle with the issues of childhood, religion, death, fame, cynicism, and commitment.In this honest collection of letters that span the first year of their friendship, readers will share the secrets, hopes, beliefs, and dreams of these two remarkable men. Also, readers will be transfixed by insightful discussions on the following topics: -- their respective childhoods and parents' divorces-- the highest purpose of religion-- the moral dilemma and horrors of war-- our paradoxical need for a messiah-- divine justice, and God's silence in the face of cruelty-- the pain of fear and criticism-- the attraction of wealth and celebrity-- the source of happiness and the nature of goodness.
