Reviews

[Lisa Schultz]

Doug Hershey has done an amazing job in this little book! Instead of taking the side of the Jews or the Christians, he focuses sharply on the only true hope of both: Jesus! Doug helps the reader see Jesus in the Tanakh as well as in the Gospels. Doug expands the meaning and Hebrew pronunciation of many terms that help the reader understand the deeper meaning of Jewish practices. Doug reveals Jesus in each Biblical feast. Neither Jews nor Christians have any boast except in the LORD who chose them to show forth His mercy!

There is little negative to say about this book. However, I did find that the size of the font was much smaller than what I have come to expect in a book. I don't know why this size was chosen. Also, as a student of Hebrew, I would have preferred to see the actual Hebrew words written instead of only their transliterations. Neither of these complaints should detract from the praise I am giving to the content of this book! I believe all readers would find it inspiring and informative!
