Publisher's Description
"An invaluable guide from a trusted expert."--Lee StrobelWritten in a compelling, accessible style, this book answers the most common questions about Jewish people and culture, drawn from the steady stream of queries Michael L. Brown's ministry receives every month. As a Messianic believer, Brown provides clear answers to questions like "Are there Jewish denominations?" and "Do the Jewish people expect a literal Messiah?" The book also addresses Christians' questions about their own relationship to the Old Testament law, such as "Should Christians observe the Sabbath on Saturday?" and "Are Gentile Christians spiritual Jews?"

“Here’s an invaluable guide from a trusted expert who loves Jesus and the Jewish people. Michael Brown provides authoritative answers—in an accessible form—about the questions you’ve probably had for years but didn’t know who to ask.”
“Every age has produced Christian scholars who are Jews. Michael Brown is the best scholar among Messianic Jews today. He has written a much-needed book to help his fellow Christians understand the Jews. He has a balanced view as to what Jews, Jewishness and Jewish customs mean that will help Christians appreciate the earthly family of Jesus. “There are certain teachings attributed to Messianic teachers that need to be corrected. For example, some have taught that the name Jesus (Iēsous in Greek) is really a pagan corruption of the name Zeus. Michael deals with Jewish history and traditions by answering questions such as ‘What are the main differences between Judaism and Christianity?’ and ‘Should all Jews move back to Israel?’ “Michael Brown believes that every living Jew, whether or not a believer in Jesus, is evidence that the God of the Bible is and that He keeps His promises!”
“This is an amazing book, even for people like me who have walked with our Jewish brothers of faith for many years. Michael Brown’s own Jewish background, coupled with his years of fruitful ministry in the Church, make him singularly capable for the task. The book is astonishing for its background in Jewish thought, its presentation of modern-day Judaism, its challenges to the Church and its insights into the issues that confront believers today. This is especially helpful to the Church as she continues to awaken to her Jewish roots. We learn better how to be sensitive to Jewish people who have already come to faith in Messiah Yeshua, as well as to those who have yet to receive the revelation of Jesus. I pray the book will have a long and useful life. God bless Michael Brown!”
