About this title

From the Publisher:

The information superhighway meets God in this witty and inspirational collection of actual faxes sent to the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem from people seeking guidance, support, acceptance--and a spiritual pipeline to God.

Review:

"When Joyce Starr's phone rings at 3 a.m., it's usually someone with an urgent message for the Man Upstairs. Starr, a Middle East analyst and author of several books on that region, is not possessed of spiritual powers. But her Washington home is connected by fax to the Western Wall of Jerusalem...Starr acknowledges that the book is an odd undertaking for an academic, but believes that making the Western Wall messages more accessible to everyone will promote harmony throughout the region and the world." - Laura Goldstein, Washington Post Magazine

"I have read it with amusement and admiration for the insight and wisdom it contains. This book will be very helpful to me, and I am sure to others in the days ahead." - John Cardinal O'Connor, Archbishop of New York

"FAXES TO GOD, is far from the cut-and-dried world of politics and international diplomacy. It is a collection of the wishes, dreams, and hopes that people from across the world sent through the unique service provided by Bezeq [Israeli Telephone Company].  Starr is known as a dignified former White House staffer, the former director of her department at a respected Washington, D. C. think tank, and a persistent organizer of meetings and conferences about the Middle East's water problems." - Allison Kaplan, Jerusalem Post

"Dr. Joyce Starr, the author of Faxes to God, has worked tirelessly on various projects in Israel, among them Neot Kedumim, a living biblical reserve which literally brings the Bible to life. I have admired Joyce's work over the years, and hope that you, your friends and your community will enjoy her latest endeavor." - Ambassador Avi Granot, Israel

"This is a most unique little collection." - Pat Robertson, Chairman, CBN
