Love Triangles: Discovering Jesus the Jew in Today's Israel
Description
<p>A Jewish woman’s unconventional quest to find Jesus in modern Israel<br /><br />With candor and an intimate knowledge of the Land and its people, Bobbie Ann Cole takes you on some intriguing time travel, such as to the ceremonial slaughtering of Passover lambs in the nearby temple as Jesus died on the cross.<br />Her moving and compellingly-written personal story of making Aliyah to Israel with her husband, Butch effectively interweaves Israel’s ancient and modern history with biblical references. She reveals the challenges that have faced Jewish believers from Peter and Paul on down to the present day, including her own. The underlying antagonism of her beloved Israel towards Messianic Jews leaves her sneaking around, keeping her true identity secret.<br />A blend of memoir, travelogue, historical document and investigative journalism, Love Triangles<br />is not about theological principals; it's about love.<br />Discover:<br />• How Jesus used Jewish festivals to underscore His message.<br />• The story of Jesus’ Bar Mitzvah.<br />• Why Jewish atheists may move to Israel but not believer Jews.<br />• Why Judaism rejects Jesus as Messiah.</p>
Story Behind The Book
This series has been a life's dream of mine, since the time I first learned to use my imagination until the day I told myself it was time I wrote it all down. The landscape of Oescienne is a reflection of my hometown, the Central Coast of California, and Jahrra's spirit, in a way, is akin to my own. I hope that if you choose to read this story, whether you be young or old or somewhere inbetween, you'll find a place worth escaping to.
