Acts of Faith

They met as children, innocents from two different worlds. And from that moment their lives were fated to be forever entwined. Timothy : Abandoned at birth, he finds a homeƒ??and a dazzling careerƒ??within the Catholic Church. But the vows he takes cannot protect him from one soul-igniting passion. Daniel : The scholarly son of a great rabbi, he is destined to follow in his fathers footsteps. And destined to break his fathers heart. Deborah : She was raised to be docile and dutifulƒ??the perfect rabbis wifeƒ??but love will lead her to rebellion. And into worlds the patriarch would never dare imagine.

Reaching across more than a quarter of a century, from the tough streets of Brooklyn to ultramodern Brasilia to an Israeli kibbutz, and radiating the splendor of two holy cities, Rome and Jerusalem, here is Erich Segals most provocative and ambitious novel to dateƒ??the unforgettable story of three extraordinary lives…and one forbidden love.
