      Is Your Identity In Jesus, Or In The World?

      Oct 21, 2019

      I was born a Jew, but was not raised Jewish. My dad is a messianic Jew, and my mom is not Jewish. I very clearly remember at the age of five asking the Lord to forgive my sins and accepting the grace that He offers through Jesus Christ on the Cross.

      great short read. The writer goes into detail about his quest for Christ. He explains some specifics about the historical accuracy of the Bible. Also covers Jesus fulfilling the prophecies from the old testiment.

      The narrator skips a chapter and does not read everything, skips a LOT in this book. The book itself is good but the narrating isn't so much.

      Giving me more evidence in my believing and following my belief that he has been with me before I even was born. I was born to a woman that was not able to keep and raise any of her children that she had concieved. I have three of us that I have found out that non of us were able to be with her. One brother went with his father and my other brother was adopted as I was and from what I learned thst she did have another but the baby died and probably there were others. But as I told my mother who as I feel was my only and real mother and my father thst adopted me was that this person was the cocoon and God was saving me for my true parents thst he got me thru many bridges in the way such as another relative wanted to adopt me but he had another belief and reality for me. I always knew there was something bigger and better in my life but I didn’t know what it was until I began to go to church and eventually knew Jesus.
      I went to the Boston garden in the late 50’s and Billy Graham was speaking and I was only about 9or10 and it came at me and I knew that what I was dreaming about was true.
      I think this book is rated 100!
      It’s something that you can put your teeth into and it all makes sense

    • 5/5
      I had read the print copy of this book (which I still have) with amazement many years ago. I loved it then because even as a person who grew up in a Christian home (being the first generation of Christians from Central Asia), I strongly needed this type of in-depth research and explanation to help me grow in confidence in my faith as many aspects were made clear to me. So I chose to listen to this audio copy of the book (thank you so much for it—please make more of your books in audio copy) as a refresher, and boy did it bless me! I was crying by the end of listening to your father’s transformation story and even prayed the along at the end of the book to recommit myself to the Lord! It’s that good of a book! And readers/listeners will be blessed! Many blessings! ?

    • 5/5
      This is a thought provoking audio book, and I liked it so much I ordered a paperback copy for my son.
    • 5/5
      As someone who’s skeptical of the Christian faith,this was really good. I do have some issues in some of the arguments he used as they can be disputed, however that’s irrelevant. I highly recommend this book. The writing is personal and the narrator did a good enough job.
