Amazing New Inside

I am a Messianic Jew and grew up with almost all of the traditions & prayers they talk about. I thought I understood the connections between what I grew up with and what I believe. This book has opened my eyes & heart to another level of love and understanding that is profound. I am ordering 4 more copies to give to family & friends & plan to go through it again with the study guide to see what we missed the first time through. Thank you both, Ann & Lois for opening our eyes.

Excellent treatment of Jewish context.

I plan to give several as gifts.

Truly transforming

I haven't finished the book yet, but so many insights and explanations have come to light that I find myself having "Aha" moments often. Anyone who is interested in deepening their faith should read this book. I am not a minister, but felt that there are enough sermons to fill a year of Sunday services.
