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A blend of memoir, travelogue, historical document and investigative journalism, Love Triangles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

I wanted to write a story about a reformed playboy type who has never had to say no to himself before until he meets, "the one."

<span style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;">Michelle Sutton's latest novel, Out of Time, is unique for its genre. This is the first Christian/Inspirational Fiction novel I've read that clearly depicts the reality of the battle to remain pure before marriage. The heroine, Bree, desires to wait until her wedding night to become intimate with a man. When she meets then falls in love with race-car driver Donny this desire conflicts with her physical desire to be close to him asap. Anyone who's ever been in a thrilling, new relationship can identify with the struggle; however, some readers may lay the book aside when they read these realistically steamy scenes.</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;">But that's not the only issue Donny and Bree face together. Conflicts abound as Bree attempts to heal from past hurts and a plot to destroy Donny and his career is revealed. A peek into the world of racing and the lifestyle of the wealthy was also an enjoyable aspect of the book. Both are foreign to me, but Michelle's descriptions kept me interested until the end.</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;">I love that the characters Michelle created are each at different places in their relationships with God. Bree struggles with her faith in God. Donny is fine without Him, for a while. The friendship between Donny and Jason is another pivotal aspect of the story. Jason is unafraid to &quot;tell it like it is&quot; when necessary. He's honest and caring. His relationships with God and with his own wife show Donny the depth of true love.</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;">Every time I put the book down to finish household chores, I finagled ways to make time to get back to the story. I ended up completing most of it in one night. The lack of sleep was well worth it.</span>
