Commentary Supposing Books Zvi
Zvi is the biography of a man who, like his nation Israel, defies explanation apart from God. His story in the early stages is reminiscent of the Book of Esther in the Bible--God is not consciously represented, yet He is obviously present and at work.One will recognize, as the story unfolds, that people and events touched Zvi's life at strategic points in ways that cannot be coincidental. Over the tortuous course he followed in his flight for survival, the reader will discern a clear pattern of divine provision.
Unlike many of the stories that confront us today, this true-life epic has a satisfying climax. Zvi's life is far from over, of course, but the issue has been settled. He is alive today and living a joyfully triumphant life in the land of his fathers.
How he survived the Holocaust, found his way to the shores of Israel, and faced his life-transforming encounter with the Messiah is a story one can ill afford to miss. A careful study of his life is a revelation of the lengths to which a loving Lord will go to bring one soul safely home.

Amazing story of a beautiful life. A mind shaped by survival through continuous hardship and uNbearable losses bring realization that it is not his ability or skill that has repeatedly delivered him through impossible odds. This Non-religious Jew begins to read the New Testament and finds new life in someone he wasnt even looking for With the content itself being his only instruction he finds much more than many who have years of formal instruction. He finds purpose, perseverance, patience, andA wonderful story showing how God truly watches over individuals, how to be an effective witness, and how much God still loves and cares for Israel.
I love the way this story ties together one man's experience of the holocaust and his life in Israel afterwards. I have a deeper appreciation for what the Jewish people have accomplished despite constant opposition and odds that are not in their favor. A great read- especially for anyone with an interest inthe modern history of the Middle East.
To my shame, I had no idea how much struggle and warfare the Jewish people endured to retain and establish their own nation and national identity in the early days of their resettlement; and all this on the heels of the Holocaust. This book is worth the read.
Writers of fiction would feel that a character such as Zvi would be stretching miracles too far. Surely, "indestructible" Jews did not exist during the Holocaust. As a young boy he survived, and as a man, he went on to work forty years defusing Arab mine fields! Later, after his soldier days, a miraculous recovery stunned physicians. He was not suppose to return to normal after being artificially resuscitated. Zvi's Creator writes factual, unbelievable biographies and laughs atimpossibilities!
I learnt quite a lot from this book. I didnt know a lot about what happened to Jews that hadnt been taken to the Nazi camps and I didnt realise the persecution that occurred after the war was over either. This was a well written account of a Jewish survivor of not only one war but also more in his beloved new land of Israel. He continued to suffer persecution when he became a Christian at the hands of his own people. Im really glad it was given to me to read.
4 stars because of the extensive history lesson that is interwoven into the 2nd part of the book. For history buffs or for those trying to understand Israel's history post 1948 this is a must read. I loved the biographical account of Zvi's life. It is a page turner. Nothing like seeing God's deliverance of a young man and seeing him come to realize who did it.
