From the Projects to the Palace: A Rags To Riches To True Riches Story

by Greg Hershberg

This is the heartbreaking life story of the author growing up in poverty in New York City. He could have easily become a statistic of drugs and crime, but amazingly instead became financially successful. When he discovered that riches do not satisfy the soul, he searched everywhere to find meaning in life and finally found it in an unexpected place. It is a dramatic encounter you don't want to miss, told with touching humility and humor. It is as if the author were sitting in your living room telling all—the exciting, the embarrassing, and the humorous. You can almost hear his Bronx accent!

Comments from readers: “I laughed one minute, and cried the next.” “His matter-of-fact style is endearing.” “It is inspiring and ignites you with a new passion....” “I am going to share this book...."

I’ve heard rabbi Greg speak about his testimony quite a few times but this book shares so many more intimate details of his life and how his love continuously grows for our Lord. I sobbed many times throughout the book, especially the last third of it. Such a beautiful testimony that makes you want to dig in and give more to the Lord.

A brilliant story if Adonai’s will portrayed in a man’s life who almost seemed to not need God in the first place.
So thankful for Rabbi Greg and his determination to do God’s will in his life no matter what.
His ministry has blessed me and my family all the way in Ireland.

From the Projects to a global ministry. God is truly awesome and worthy of praise. Thank you, Rabbi Hershberg, for your obedience to the Lord.

I love it when I read a good book that makes me cry and laugh at the same time. That is just what this book did! I was looking forward to reading this book a chapter every day for ten days but once I began it I could not put it down and read it very quickly! This is an unusual memoir/autobiography by Greg Hershberg about his his life. There is a lot about his father. As you read you will understand why the author did This book is really impressive as it reveals the devotion and love Gregs father showed towards his wife, and the grace God gave Greg. I liked how it shows that riches don't make one happy. And that faith has to be more than traditions.
Overall I was amazed and impressed by the love shared throughout this confusing life. I was not so sure about the fact that he and his wife both saw Jesus in Israel but I over looked this point because i had to since I was falling in love with this read.
I am a history lover so I really enjoyed learning what it was like to grow up Jewish during the 1960s and 1970s.
This book points to Jesus and gives him all the glory. One cannot read this book and be unchanged. This book is another testimony to God's faithfulness.From the first chapter, I was grabbed by this heart-touching, convicting, motivating book. One can tell that the author know his topic , after all it is a book about himself! It was easy to understand yet convicting. Needless to say, I do recommend this book for all audiences!



I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion.

What a beautiful testimony of God's unrelenting grace! Greg Hershberg shares his story of growing up in the projects in the Bronx and how God lovingly and graciously called him to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

The story is engaging and I enjoyed it greatly.
