[Josiah · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is a great introduction to the Messianic community. While it specifies Messianic JEWISH, this book can easily apply to the community at large. The author is very knowledgeable. His scope is near comprehensive, while introductory in nature.

On the other hand, some of the language he uses is authoritarian in tone at times. The messianic attitude I've experienced from practitioners at times came across as arrogant and the faith to practice. It was also frustrating he would quote sources without notations.

Overall, I highly recommend this book for its introductory use. The questions at the end of each section are good those using for "discipleship" reasons. The verses to memorize section were also very useful.

This is a wonderful foundational book regarding faith in the God of Israel, addressing main issues for Jews, Messianic Jews, and Christians. This is ideal for "new members" classes at your congregation.

A wonderful guide to grow in my discipleship with Yeshua. It was easy to understand and met my needs well.
