Great Reviews for The Forgotten Roots: A Beginners Guide to The Judaic Roots of Christianity
The Director of MDDL Discernment and Study Ministry has produced a best selling book that is receiving many positive reviews. With so many Christian books promoting man and what man wants it is refreshing to have a book that points man back to G-d.
Edinburgh, United Kingdom, November 22, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Discernment is an important issue within the faith and unfortunately seems to have been put on the back burner in favour of Yoga, Martial Arts, New Age and Contemplative techniques. This book gives another perspective on the Roots of our Faith and the Roots of some of these controversial practices and encourages you to look at Scripture from a Judaic Biblical Perspective rather than just listening to others - whose overall agenda may not be in line with Scripture.
From Book Cover
What Questions Are We Asking?
Is that really what God said?
Why do we interpret that way?
What are the gifts of the Spirit?
Does doctrine matter, so long as we have Jesus?
These are just some of the questions addressed in this book.
This book asks the Christian to question what he believes. Not to turn from the faith but to bring them into a deeper relationship with the Messiah. The questions posed are designed to make us look at ourselves and the Teaching we have received. With so many churches teaching different interpretations of scripture and claiming to be Spirit led - yet doctrines can be diametrically opposed to each other, are we sure we are walking in Gods righteousness and not our own?
Judaic history and understanding have been left out of scriptural interpretation. God did and does things in a way that man can understand. If not, we could never interpret and understand what God has to say. God is not cryptic. To understand the roots of our faith, i.e. Judaism and the Judaic way of thinking, can only lead to a deeper understanding and interpretation of God's Word; after all, it was written to the Jew first.
Once it is established that the roots have been forgotten we can see many of today's teachings exposed for what they are. This book is a must for the seeking and discerning Christian.
Includes articles by:
Jacob Prasch – Moriel Ministries
Chris Lawson – Spiritual Research Network
Professor David Plaisted on creation issues.
Other issues discussed are: The gift of Tongues, Prophetic words today, Yoga, Martial Arts, Did the Jews kill Yeshua (Jesus), Pentecost, the five basic doctrines that define our faith.
What one online reviewer said: (Arabrab on Christian Book Reviews at about.com)
"The Forgotten Roots is a newly released book about the Judaic roots of the Christian faith. Reading it was quite an eye opener. I was surprised to learn that much of what I had been taught over the years as a Christian was misunderstood and misplaced from its Judaic roots and the original understanding of the faith.
I found myself re-evaluating a lot of what I have been taught and the desire to study the Bible has become of more import in my life. This book will make one aware of both the anti-Semitic doctrines prevalent today and the misdirection much of Christendom has been led into by the rejection of its Judaic roots.
The Forgotten Roots covers a variety of topics including, creation, martial arts, yoga, and why we believe what we believe. It also discusses the gift of tongues from a Judaic perspective.
I was surprised and happy to find a book that is both biblically sound (all Scriptures are included in the text) and God-oriented rather than man-focused. The entire book is dedicated to pointing man back to the God of the Bible.
Here's one little quote from the book that the author made that sums up man and God in Scripture: "The Bible only says two things - Man bad, God good."
I do, however, wish the author had gone into more detail on some of the topics covered, as it did leave me wanting more. I guess that is why it is the beginner's guide. The work is an introduction. Let us hope the author will bring out the intermediate guide to follow.
I highly recommend this book to all believers everywhere as a wakeup call that is desperately needed in these doctrinally confusing times ."
