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A blend of memoir, travelogue, historical document and investigative journalism, Love Triangles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

Well over a decade ago, I read a book about a young woman who operated a dating agency. At that time, datings services hadn't become quite the "thing" they are now, and I was fascinated by the concept. Immediately I wondered, what if such an agency existed for Christians? I played with it in my head. Stewed over it as I washed dishes, mulled it over as I made beds, dreamed up scenes as I drove down the road. I talked about writing a book based around a Christian dating agency when I was interviewed, but the only real "work" I'd done on it was in my head. Then one day, it was as if God pointed a finger at me and said, "It's time. Do it." By this time, the dating agency had a name - Solomon's Gate - and it had become an entire series of books, rather than a single stand-alone. I started writing. God started leading. Things started happening...little touches of the divine that made their way into Solomon's Gate. I had such a wonderful time with this series, and God taught me so much through it. Love it, love it, love it!
