I. Loved. This. Book. It was so cool and encouraging to read about Lorna’s personal testimony about being devoutly Jewish, searching for her Jewish Messiah, and finding life in Jesus. 100/10 recommend!

[Andrew Carretto · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great book for those who question who Jesus is and why he does matter. Told from the perspective of a converted Jew. She does a great job of talking in truth about religion and how crazy church can look to a non-believer or one that is seeking answers. Eye-opening!

Chocked full of history and scripture, this quick read demonstrates God's providence as a Jewish woman begins to question her beliefs and seek the truth. Heartwarming and eye opening, you will be blessed!

I had no idea when I sat down to read this I would read it cover to cover in one evening. This is a beautiful testimony of God’s faithfulness and His ability to speak to us through His Word. I picked this book to help me better understand how to help those who are searching for truth, searching for Jesus. Listening to Lorna’s story and her own struggle to accept truth helped me better understand many great Scripture references to use in certain situations. She tells her story so well that your emotions follow the same path as her own. Keep some tissues nearby.

This was a beautiful, powerful story of one woman's search for the truth. I couldn't put it down. True stories, especially those in which God so remarkably works and the gospel shines, are so captivating. This might not be a readily available book, but so worth finding and reading. God is faithful. God is good.

Great Story

I heard about this book from a podcast called “The Book”. It’s a heart warming story about a woman who converts from Judaism to Christianity, how she deals with loss, and how learns to trust God.

Definitely kept me interested and curious throughout. My personal investment was high, as I was also raised Jewish and came to Christ. Enlightening and engaging for sure!
