Completely true to the revealed Truth of the Bible

I found this book to be written in an entertaining manner with a very serious purpose. Regardless of what the previous reviewer has argued, the scriptures of both the Old and New Testaments teach something entirely different from what he is saying. The Apostle Paul sums it all up in his letter to the Romans in chapter 11 from which the reviewer takes verses out of context. (If you question this please read the passages for yourself and read the previous 10 chapters to understand the logical conclusions to Paul's statements which all relate directly to Old Testament (Torah) writings.) Here is an excerpt from Paul speaking directly to the Gentiles (us) about the Jews and their relationship to salvation through Jesus Christ taken from Romans 11:13-15 in the Amplified Bible. 13"But now I am speaking to you who are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I lay great stress on my ministry and magnify my office, 14In the hope of making my fellow Jews jealous [in order to stir them up to imitate, copy, and appropriate], and thus managing to save some of them. 15For if their rejection and exclusion from the benefits of salvation were [overruled] for the reconciliation of a world to God, what will their acceptance and admission mean? [It will be nothing short of] life from the dead!" Doesn't this directly contradict the arguments of the previous reviewer? Is Paul not clearly saying that some of the Jews were saved but many rejected this salvation? Is not part of his purpose to lead some Jews to the saving blood of the crucified Messiah as the ONLY way to salvation? This supports the need for a book like this from a prominent Jew like Barry Rubin who has realized his need for the Messiah Jesus as his savior. I recommend it to any Christian who has friendships with Jewish neighbors and coworkers and wishes to lovingly show them their true Messiah.

I brought the bagels - and this book delivered.

If you believe that Jesus is the Messiah, and want to share the good news with your Jewish friends, neighbors, and co-workers, this book will provide you with what you need. Rubin's book is engaging, easy to read, and chock full of applicable information. This book can be used as a primer for discussions with individuals, and also as a text for Bible studies or Sunday School classes. I have not found another book like it.
