Driven From Home: The True Story of Jeanette Gedalius (Paperback)

This is the true story of a Jewish girl who was saved at fifteen and, by nineteen, had already endured years of hardship for her faith. Converted as a teenager, she spent much of her youth away from home, suffering yet learning that “the cross is not greater than His grace.”

But nothing could prepare her for the day the Rabbi came. Urging her mother to act before God’s wrath fell on their household, he stirred up fear and hostility. Pressured by the community—and even by those calling themselves Christians—her mother’s grief and rage erupted. One blow left her unconscious; when she awoke, she was thrust into the street, stripped of the home and family she had known since childhood.

With no kind farewells, no loving embrace, and no blessing, she walked away—driven from home for the sake of “the hanged One.” In her deepest loneliness, she cried out to the God who had saved her, and He answered, proving once again that His love and faithfulness never fail.
