So Strange My Path: A Spiritual Pilgrimage

It is unusual if not unique for an established Catholic Priest to forsake Christianity and convert to Judaism. So Strange My Path reveals the inside story of the former Father Kenneth Cox who embarked upon a dramatic spiritual journey to the Jewish faith. The author, Abraham Carmel, vividly describes his agonizing period of doubt, his courage and conviction to deny his former religion, and the many obstacles he had to overcome in order to achieve his spiritual goal. After five years of probation and intensive study, Mr. Carmel was received by the London Beth Din (Court of the Chief Rabbi) as a proselyte. An observant Jew, Abraham Carmel personified the rare rabbinic type of a Ger Tzedek - the proselyte of righteousness - who is admitted into the Jewish faith because of a sincere desire to adopt Jewish values and ideals.
