A Match Made in Heaven: American Jews, Christian Zionists, and One Man’s Exploration of the Weird and Wonderful Judeo-Evangelical Alliance

This is a terrific book by Zev Chafets. From page 53: "In Miami, twenty years ago, I knew a rabbi named Emmet Frank who offered a one-day conversion course complete with ritual immersion on the beach. But even Rabbi Frank made his candidates spend eight hours in the classroom (time off for lunch). He also provided them with a warranty. "If you forget something, call me at home," he told the newly minted Jews." From page 203: "Forgiven by Israeli officials for his "God-smote-Sharon" crack, Robertson was warmly received by Prime Minister Olmert. The Pat reported that the two held hands and prayed, undoubtedly one of the harder moments of the war for the resolutely secular and deeply cynical Olmert."
