Full of warmth, humor, and the celebration of the extraordinary in the
ordinary, The Lev Effect appeals to the faithful of all religions and
iconoclasts alike.
When the Bolton Jewish Community converts a disused retirement home to a
boarding school and hires a Russian refugee to direct it and the retirees
as staff, the small town of Bolton, Pennsylvania celebrates the change.
But when the director admits a Palestinian boy, schedules Palestine
National Day and a fundraiser for a Catholic homeless shelter, the family
that endowed the retirement home fifty years earlier sues to regain their
trust fund. This action sets in motion a series of events that results in
the notion that the school director might be Jesus Christ himself. But is
he? The Lev Effect, the sequel to the critically-acclaimed novel Lost and
Found, is a modern-day imagining of the second coming of Christ to a small
Jewish community.
About the Author
Of Sheldon Greene's six novels, five draw strongly upon his experience with
and knowledge of the Jewish faith. Ranging from fact-based history to
flights of imagination, he uses his novels to explore such subjects as Jews
in the American Revolution, Jewish influence on pre-Colombian culture, the
Israeli War of Independence, and the impact of the Holocaust on creativity.
Greene was appointed Warden of Insurance of the State of Ohio at age 23. A
public interest lawyer, he pursued seminal issues— such as the United States'
flawed health delivery system, the impact of illegal immigration on the
economy, renewable energy, and public land policies— decades before they
achieved national attention. He was a participant in the first Obama
national policy team for both immigration and energy. He was one of the
founders of the New Israel Fund and helped formulate its unique structure,
drawing on his experience as General Counsel of California Rural Legal
Assistance. He is an executive in a wind energy development company and has
been actively engaged in renewable energy for over 25 years. He advocates
the formulation of a God concept derived from the life process, stripped of
anachronistic anthropomorphic characteristics. He has developed personal
guidelines for a balanced, seamless life with spiritual, intellectual,
social, and creative dimensions. Learn more about Sheldon Greene and his
