Dykstra is convinced that we ignore this God-inspired material to our own destruction. The title of the book is taken from the famous poem of Emma Lazarus \"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, the tempest-tost, to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!\" (Inscribed on the Statue of Liberty, New York harbor) The question mark following these famous words gives a hint about the direction Dykstra will be taking us as we journey back to Israel and to the American experience of our past. All this will lead to a serious look at the issues facing our country as we live in this post-9/11 world. - Publisher, 145 pages ; 22 cm
