This book was released on 2017-05-27 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A MIRACULOUS STORY OF CONVERSION or -What Is A Nice Jewish Girl Like Me Doing In a Place Like This?- (The Catholic Church) The story begins at the birth of a young Jewish girl born into a patriarchal Israeli heritage, a girl who dropped out of Hebrew school after her teacher was arrested for a crime, a crime that proved her father's idea of truth, that "the Bible is fairy tales and fables made up to control man." However, he challenged his 12-year-old daughter, "Go on with your life and read; study; seek the truth; and when you find it, I will respect it." An incredible journey, Bette's life, thus far a 60-year span, began with a traumatic circumstance, death surrounding her while she was yet unborn. Yet, God intervened despite her own mother's plea to her doctor and his response. God reached into her mother's womb and consecrated Bette to Himself. And so, the narrative of Bette's life begins told poignantly with great humor and storytelling capability. Born in 1953, Bette experienced childhood loss of innocence when her home playground was destroyed and converted into a fallout shelter to protect against nuclear war during the Cuban missile crisis. Then came the traumatic death of President John F. Kennedy, born 20 minutes from her own birthplace in Massachusetts. As a young bride, Bette moved to her childhood dream location, southern California, the home of Disneyland, "The Happiest Place on Earth." God reached out his hand to Bette many years later on a beach, giving her a mystical understanding of the cosmos. He took her out of her body and into His mind to see His creation, hear a special message, and experience a remarkable healing all simultaneously. With God's Word affirming Bette, this book contains photos of miraculous events and poetry. The birth of their daughter opens up more telepathic, mystical experiences revealing the realm of God and His messengers on our journeys. Bette's heritage is discovered upon meeting a man on an aircraft who is able to unravel questions of her Israeli background with his interpretation of her great-grandfather's tombstone. The even greater adventure continues to unfold as Bette and her husband fly 14 hours to an incredible pilgrimage to find the birthplace of her fathers. Bette discovers that her great-grandfather was a brilliant man, a rabbi buried near the tomb of Ari (the modern day founder of the Kabbalah) and that her ancestry goes back, according to a tombstone to the Tribe of Naphtali, one of the first 12 tribes of Israel. A beautifully graphic story of conversion, it would be difficult to read this story and not see the hand of God at work in Bette's life. Hearing Bette's story will help elevate your own faith in God. Her telling is like going on an epic journey that traverses time and space. It encompasses Kairos time, God's perfect time, and His illustrating transcendent presence. Ask and the Lord will bring you deeper into a relationship with Him as you read the testimony of Bette's conversion to Catholicism, her first experiences with the Holy Spirit and then when she cautiously opened her heart to Jesus Christ and realized her need to respond. Much more soul-searching ensued when her first born child's comment, "Mommy I think Mary is the most beautiful women on earth," led her to discover the powerful intercession of Jesus' mother. Discover Bette's story, and hopefully enrich your own relationship with God!

Book Synopsis Salvation Is from the Jews by : Roy H. Schoeman
Download or read book Salvation Is from the Jews written by Roy H. Schoeman and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2019-04-15 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book traces the role of Judaism and the Jewish people in God's plan for the salvation of mankind, from Abraham through the Second Coming, as revealed by the Catholic faith and by a thoughtful examination of history. It will give Christians a deeper understanding of Judaism, both as a religion in itself and as a central component of Christian salvation. To Jews it reveals the incomprehensible importance, nobility and glory that Judaism most truly has. It examines the unique and central role Judaism plays in the destiny of the world. It documents that throughout history attacks on Jews and Judaism have been rooted not in Christianity, but in the most anti-Christian of forces. Areas addressed include: the Messianic prophecies in Jewish scripture; the anti-Christian roots of Nazi anti-Semitism; the links between Nazism and Arab anti-Semitism; the theological insights of major Jewish converts; and the role of the Jews in the Second Coming. "Perplexed by controversies new and old about the destiny of the Jewish people? Read this book by a Jew who became a Catholic for a well-written, provocative, ground-breaking account. Some of the answers most have never heard before." Ronda Chervin, Ph.D., Hebrew-Catholic

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you have ever wondered what being born Jewish should mean to you; if you want to find out more about the nature of Judaism, or explain it to a friend; if you are thinking about how Judaism can connect with the rest of your life -- this is the first book you should own. It poses, and thoughtfully addresses, questions like these: Can one doubt God's existence and still be a good Jew? Why do we need organized religion? Why shouldn't I intermarry? What is the reason for dietary laws? How do I start practicing Judaism? The Nine Questions People Ask About Judaism was written for the educated, skeptical, searching Jew, and for the non-Jew who wants to understand the meaning of Judaism. It has become a classic and very widely read introduction to the oldest living religion. Concisely and engagingly, authors Dennis Prager and Joseph Telushkin present Judaism as the rational, moral alternative for contemporary man.

Book excerpt: Winner of the 2016 Scott O’Dell Award for Historical Fiction A 2016 Association of Jewish Libraries Sydney Taylor Award Winner Winner of the 2016 National Jewish Book Award for Children’s and Young Adult Literature Newbery Medalist Laura Amy Schlitz brings her delicious wit and keen eye to early twentieth-century America in a moving yet comedic tour de force. Fourteen-year-old Joan Skraggs, just like the heroines in her beloved novels, yearns for real life and true love. But what hope is there for adventure, beauty, or art on a hardscrabble farm in Pennsylvania where the work never ends? Over the summer of 1911, Joan pours her heart out into her diary as she seeks a new, better life for herself—because maybe, just maybe, a hired girl cleaning and cooking for six dollars a week can become what a farm girl could only dream of—a woman with a future. Newbery Medalist Laura Amy Schlitz relates Joan’s journey from the muck of the chicken coop to the comforts of a society household in Baltimore (Electricity! Carpet sweepers! Sending out the laundry!), taking readers on an exploration of feminism and housework; religion and literature; love and loyalty; cats, hats, and bunions.

Book Synopsis The Jew Named Jesus by : Rebekah Simon-Peter
Download or read book The Jew Named Jesus written by Rebekah Simon-Peter and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Rebekah Simon-Peter says "Jesus was born a Jew, raised a Jew, lived a Jew, died a Jew, and resurrected a Jew. He was no backsliding Jew, but an observant Jew. He honored and observed the Sabbath and the Jewish holidays. But most of all, he honored and observed the Torah, the Hebrew Bible, or what we call the Old Testament. How could he do anything but love his own people? I believe it's important for the church to own that and to claim it proudly. Jesus was Jewish--through and through. Why is that important? I believe how we see, name, and claim Jesus has everything to do with how we see, name, and claim each other." Simon-Peter, an ordained elder in The United Methodist Church, was born and raised a Jew, first Reform, then later Orthodox. She challenges Christians to rethink Jesus' identity as a Jew, and in the process, to consider ways traditional Christian theology has contributed to anti-Semitism. How can we continue to heal the breaches between Jews and Christians? How can the biblical texts enrich our understanding of Jesus as a practicing Jew? How can our Christian faith deepen and grow as we consider ways to respect Jesus' identity as a faithful Jew?

Download or read book Common Prayers written by Harvey Cox and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2002-11-12 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A theologian explores the holidays and rituals of his wife’s Jewish faith in an “accessible and engaging” memoir told “with humor and a scholar’s insight” (Los Angeles Times). As a member of an interfaith household, eminent Christian theologian, and religion scholar, National Book Award finalist Harvey Cox has had ample opportunity to reflect upon the essence of Judaism and its complex relationship to Christianity. Organized around the Jewish calendar from Rosh Hashanah to Yom ha-Atzmaíut, Common Prayers illuminates the meanings of Jewish holidays as well as traditions surrounding milestone events such as death and marriage. Describing in elegant, accessible language the holidays’ personal, historical, and spiritual significance and the lessons they offer us, Cox “is instructive and enlightening, revealing the depth and passion of his religious thought and practice” (Boston Herald). As seen through his eyes, the Jewish holidays offer a wellspring of discovery and reflection for every reader, Jewish and non-Jewish alike. “Cox not only provides a clear guide to Judaism for ‘perplexed gentiles’ but convincingly argues that ‘appreciating Judaism, both its history and its present manifestation, is essential to a full understanding of Christianity’ . . . An important new book by a major theologian; highly recommended.” —Library Journal “Cox’s insights into Judaism and Christianity, as both an insider and an outsider, are dazzling.” —Orlando Sentinel

Book Synopsis Arab and Jewish Women in Kentucky by : Nora Rose Moosnick
Download or read book Arab and Jewish Women in Kentucky written by Nora Rose Moosnick and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2012-05-21 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outwardly it would appear that Arab and Jewish immigrants comprise two distinct groups with differing cultural backgrounds and an adversarial relationship. Yet, as immigrants who have settled in communities at a distance from metropolitan areas, both must negotiate complex identities. Growing up in Kentucky as the granddaughter of Jewish immigrants, Nora Rose Moosnick observed this traditionally mismatched pairing firsthand, finding that, Arab and Jewish immigrants have been brought together by their shared otherness and shared fears. Even more intriguing to Moosnick was the key role played by immigrant women of both cultures in family businesses -- a similarity which brings the two groups close together as they try to balance the demands of integration into American society. In Arab and Jewish Women in Kentucky: Stories of Audacity and Accomodation, Moosnick reveals how Jewish and Arab women have navigated the intersection of tradition, assimilation, and Kentucky's cultural landscape. The stories of ten women's experiences as immigrants or the children of immigrants join around common themes of public service to their communities, intergenerational relationships, running small businesses, and the difficulties of juggling family and work. Together, their compelling narratives challenge misconceptions and overcome the invisibility of Arabs and Jews in out of the way places in America.
