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A blend of memoir, travelogue, historical document and investigative journalism, Love Triangles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
Four women were the inspiration behind Not a Word about Love – four of my closest friends.
I hope you enjoy reading this book, at least as much as I enjoyed writing it.

<div><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);">"Pure pleasure. Contemporary, flowing and fluid language. That is the greatness of Goldberg. She draws her characters with such precision it feels like you can actually touch them. I fell in love with the character as she grew and transformed from a spineless creature to a courageous woman. Goldberg's writing style is rich with nuance and humor, and while reading I found myself smiling more than once and laughing out loud up to the point of tears many times.</span><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);">" </span></div>

<div><font face="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">"I can see why this novel has been so popular. It's funny, sensual, frank, and very open. The nightmarish quality of some of the passages, like the jet-ski accident, contrast very well with the sassy humour and the dialogue sounds really natural. I'm really impressed at the quality of the modern idioms in it too. It's very entertaining and I really enjoyed it - sharp observations, and great humour... a cracking read! </font></div>
