July 4 | JX Holiday Special II

Oddly enough, this day on which we celebrate the birth of the American state led us to church, in a sense. 

The top of the pile of candidates for a re-airing deal with beliefs and people that defy easy explanation. 

At 8: John Geiger writes about people in tough situations who report feeling the presence of someone or something else.  He sums up many stories and possible explanations in his book The Angel Effect

At 9: It takes a rabbi to know a rabbi.  Or at least it does for this book.  David Zaslow, longtime Ashland rabbi, tells the story of a famous predecessor in the book Jesus: First Century Rabbi.  Zaslow and Joseph Lieberman (not the former senator) co-wrote the book.  The Exchange returns to live broadcasting on Wednesday, July 5.
