I enjoyed much of this,
as it had me stopping and praying,
in several places with tears.
However, I did not give it a 5 star rating,
only because,
I feared a nonbeliever,
who might read it,
might think this was a proof of reincarnation.
The author only very briefly at the end,
in one or two sentences, dealt with that issue,
but I felt she did not explain it thoroughly enough.
I don't suppose many Christians had a hard time with that issue,
but even some Christians might.
it was odd, because, she did not write it
like Jesus had not come 2000 years ago,
in a way, that might have almost been better
( as IF this was the Lord's first time)?
I think the idea was good,
in that people are just as sinful, in our days,
as they were when Jesus actually came.
And at time, I did find the idea of Jesus coming in our times
like His first coming,
to be a bit of a stretch,
and slightly confusing at times.
Still, there were many places of deep conviction of sin, salvation, forgiveness etc.

Yeshua was a very enjoyable and intriguing read. The author fully immerses the reader by dropping one into the story and allowing the reader to experience the culture without added explanations and/or narrative. The setting, descriptions, and characters appear to be very accurate - it is obvious that Ms. Warren conducted a vast amount of research for this book. Although at times I felt a bit lost as I am not very knowledgeable about the differing sects of either Jewish or Muslim beliefs, that technique simply served as a learning opportunity to research and clarify in order to better understand some of the references in the book. I enjoyed learning more about Middle Eastern religion/culture as a result.
The characters are very well developed; I felt like they were real people that I got to know through reading the story, and I became vested in their lives. I found it fairly easy to picture the scenes in my head as well, which indicates that Ms. Warren effectively described the multiple settings. When I read, I create what I call a "mind movie" - I visualize the characters, settings and surroundings as best I can from the author's description; if my mind movie falls into place, and I can easily revisit when I pick the book back up to read again, I feel that I'm reading a well-written book. I easily created a mind movie of Yeshua. I did feel "fully immersed" when reading, and I'm still able to 'replay' parts that were particularly meaningful and/or descriptive.
One thing that was a bit 'strange' (for lack of a better word) is that I would sometimes forget this book has a modern setting. I felt that I was reading the story of Jesus and his followers, just with different, but similiar names. Then, as the story mentions a car or cell phone or something else that is modern, and I remembered that this is not about Jesus but about Yeshua, who is a modern Jewish Messiah. It's an interesting twist and made the book most intriguing.
In conclusion, I must say that Yeshua was a book like no other. To follow Scripture so accurately and yet create a modern setting for the characters and events is truly unique and a testiment to Ms. Warren's writing skills. Although I certainly will not imply that Scripture needs to be updated, I will say that the story of Yeshua is a refreshing and enlightening account of a Biblical story that should be continued to be told.

This book fits a hyper definition of “Fiction,” where “fiction” means “lie.” It’s is a vile antisemitic misrepresentation of the Person of Yeshua (Jesus), the Jewish Messiah and Savior of all who receive Him.
It’s said that one should not judge a book by its cover, in this case that is not true. The cover depicts Yeshua walking up to the Damascus gate East Jerusalem in opposition to a group of IDF defenders of Israel. Paintings and pictures like this, which depict the IDF as the enemies of Jesus are nothing less than modern antisemitic blood libels conveying the “Christ killer” hatred of the Spanish Inquisition, Nazi Germany, the Russian Pogroms and so on.
The author’s antizionist hatred permeates the pages. The teachings of both Biblical Judaism and Christianity are misappropriated to support the author’s pseudo-Christian worldview. Jews, Arabs, Jewish followers of Yeshua and Arab Christians are misrepresented in equal parts, but the most abhorrent element by far is the false representation of the Person of Yeshua (Jesus). His words are decontextualized, used to infer Jewish guilt, misappropriated to serve an antizionist agenda and convey the supersessionist (replacement) theology of the apostate church and its false gospel, which has its roots in over two thousand years of pseudo-Christian antisemitism.
If you are a true Messiah follower, please, I implore you as a Jew and a follower of Yeshua, don’t purchase, promote or otherwise engage with this work.

I was really impressed with this book. First, I’ve never read a book like this that takes true, known events and fictionalizes them. Even non Christians, and possibly even some atheists, have a general sense of the events of the Bible, from an historical standpoint. Second, I’m glad I read it on a digital device, as I had to look up maps of the area, not knowing the geopolitical areas referred to. But it goes to show how extensive the research the author did, to craft this novel. One of the most hopeful messages from this book was the message of love, regardless of the other details of someone’s belief system, to know that loving each other is the most important message of the Bible is pretty life affirming.

One of the things I love most about Michelle's books is that she gives us a look at life from a different perspective. She doesn't balk at difficult issues. She's taken a well-known and well-worn story and not only brought it to life, but brings us into it in a way that requires us to face ourselves. In Yeshua, she's used an original technique which had to be very challenging to work with, but brings out aspects of the story we wouldn't have been able to see ourselves in otherwise. Another thing about Michelle's work that always captures me is how poetic it is. It's beautiful to read and I find myself savoring every word. Do yourself a favor: Read this book with an open heart. Give the Holy Spirit permission to operate. Find healing.

A captivating story that brings events from 2000 years ago into this century. This emotional and touching account of the Messiah had a profound impact on me. I read the book during Lent. It added a depth of meaning to my Lent journey that I had not experienced before. I highly recommend this well written timely book.

An emotional roller coaster that kept me wanting to read more and more!
I loved how there was so much going on, yet the message of the prophets always rang true! I surrendered my life to Jesus almost 50 years ago, but He has opened my eyes to His chosen people more and more over the last 25. This book helped me see things more from the Jewish perspective! Thank you!

The Messiah in the 21st century
This tells the story of the Messiah coming to the Middle East to transform lives.
We see characters of various backgrounds struggling with politics, philosophy, spiritual beliefs, and religion, and see Messiah loving so many in so many ways.

This is an interesting storyline and it draws from many biblical texts, but it just doesn’t seem to work with Christianity already being established as a world religion…. On His return, it’s supposed to be like it’s written in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17.

Mind blowing
Made me think and ponder how great a power love is and can be. Enjoyed it and will recommend it

Don't know what to say
I understand what the point of the style was but I had a hard time following it because of the two Christian lines depicted. Don't get me wrong, I got a lot out if it and it really spoke to me heart but... for new potential Christians reading it I think it will really confuse things.
I plan on Reading it again to see if it all straightens out fir me.
