In His Own Words: Messianic Insights Into the Hebrew Alphabet

by L Grant Luton

“Till heaven and earth pass away, not a ‘yud’ or ‘taggin’ shall pass away from the Torah…”Why does the world need a book about the Hebrew alphabet? Actually, this I not the first book written about the subject. Jewish theologians have been exploring the hidden meanings for the Hebrew letters for many centuries. However, this is the first book that has explored this subject from a Messianic viewpoint. And now, In his Own Words has been revised and expanded to include even more insights into the many secrets of the Hebrew Scriptures that are normally hidden to non-Hebrew readers. Through the pages of this book, you will encounter amazing details about God’s Word that have never been translated into our English editions. You will learn why some letters in the Hebrew Bible are printed over- or under-sized, as well as why other letters are printed upside down, broken in half, or suspended in mid-air. You will discover why nearly every column of a Torah scroll begins with a letter that symbolizes a hook, and why some passages of scripture are printed in such a way as to depict a brick wall. This book will also demonstrate how the message of the gospel is graphically illustrated by the names, shapes, and order of the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. You are sure to be inspired and encouraged by the amazing truths that God has hidden in these ancient symbols.If you enjoyed the previous edition of In His Own Words, you are sure to find this edition even more rewarding and enlightening in your study of the Scriptures.

Few books outside of scripture can leave me completely in awe of God. This has left a profound impact on the way I see scripture and the way I see God who is truly the author of all creation. I’m honestly surprised that most of what I learned by reading this is never talked about in the western church.

I took this book very slowly, and made it somewhat devotional by pairing it with Psalm 119 and the corresponding stanzas that represent each letter of the Hebrew alphabet.

I regularly finished a chapter feeling completely in awe of just how intricately God has woven everything together, from the very letters that spell his name. I left this book with a deeper understanding and respect for the language and traditions of the Jewish people. But mostly, I came out of this book more enamored by God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.

After understanding the Hebrew alphabet, I feel that the Bible and its message are absolutely, unmistakably true. God’s authorship and authority over it all is so clear. This book helped me discover a new piece of Gods character and I am grateful!
