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A blend of memoir, travelogue, historical document and investigative journalism, Love Triangles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

Three hours into last night’s happy hour, I struck up a conversation with the mixed-gender group of folks next to us. Quickly, we all dove into conversation on the familiar, hot-button topic of women versus men in outlooks on sex & dating. One of the guys in their group (whom I had never met before in my life) was not only agreed with all the guys’ points of view, he frequently doubled over laughing. He and I then specifically asked two ladies in the group to scan the entire room. There were approximately one hundred total women in the bar. We wanted these two ladies to literally point out women that we two guys would not sleep with, if somehow those ladies made themselves available to either of us at end of the evening. The two ladies quickly and correctly eliminated the obvious choices which was great - but not the point. The fact that they failed to realize that some women’s poor fashion choices – at least in their eyes - would not rule them out as sex options is not the point either. In fact, the full point we’re trying to make didn’t occur from the analysis of any specific woman in that bar. The point is, I had only met this guy minutes before yet he and I saw the same physical qualities in every woman. The two women making choices based on their opinions instead of our opinions attempted to argue us guys down. There were a handful of women in the bar that they thought we should see in the same light as they did.
