In searching for more information concerning the Hebrew roots of the Christian faith, this book was recommended to me and I too now recommend it highly. If you are searching for answers to some tough questions about today's Church, you'll want to read this book. The author, Mr. Russ Miner, is immensely informative and well versed with regard to the Sabbath, the Biblical feast days, the future restoration of Israel, the correct translation of the Hebrew term "Torah" (which cannot be overstated), and the history of the separation of Judaism and Christianity. I loved the book's straightforward style. It contains important documentation that one won't find in today's Church--not because there is a vast multi-denominational conspiracy, but because the Church itself has been deceived, as the author clearly explains. The title phrase, "What the Church Has Hidden From Us" is aptly chosen, as it describes the premise of the book's message. Although the author challenges us to prayerfully re-examine what we have been taught, he does not come across with a tone of scathing criticism toward the Church; rather, his message is delivered with a heart to tell the Truth with compassion and lovingkindness. As a historical researcher, writer and editor with a degree in History and a credential in English, I believe I am qualified to offer a credible and honest review of Mr. Miner's book. This book is packed with well-referenced historical integrity. Its compelling message and reader-friendly style grip the reader's attention from the beginning, holding his/her attention throughout the text. Once I began reading, I truly could not put it down.
Provocative!!

What an eye-opener! This well-documented book shows how and why the "church" departed from the biblical track. It first exposes how the early "church fathers" and the Roman religion Mithraism worked to separate biblical Christianity from its mother, Judaism. Because of this, Christianity became disconnected from its Hebrew roots and anti-Semitism took a quantum leap, with the terrible result being that Christians have been denied by the church from seeing God's intended spiritual applications in the Hebrew Scriptures. This, in turn, has prevented us from experiencing the joy of His Sabbath rest and His appointments to meet with us. One of the most fascinating topics is the demonstration that the word "Torah" in the Hebrew Scriptures was mistranslated to become just "law" in our English Bibles. It is shown in several ways that "Torah" also includes God's teachings and instructions. Anyone interested in biblical truth and documented history will enjoy this book!
This is a MUST read!

True church history is long overdue. This book removes layer by layer past assumptions and clearly shows how Christianity took some major detours. Don't be surprised if in the near future more and more Christians begin searching for their Jewish roots.
