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A blend of memoir, travelogue, historical document and investigative journalism, Love Triangles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

Honestly, this book came to me at an odd time. I was struggling with my mental illness a lot, and a friend of mine gave me some edibles to try. I ended up getting a little too high, and I had very vivid dreams that told me a lot about myself as a person. One of the dreams that stuck out to me the most was chasing a mirror that had stolen my happiness, and the rest of the story wrote itself from there. This book is very close to my heart, because I have been Melanie. I think we all have, at some point or another, in the sense that we're struggling to find that spark that shows us what living is.

You don't have to have all of the answers on your own. Be kind to the people around you and hold on to them no matter why you could reasonably let them go. People have their own stories, and their own struggles you know nothing about. And that's okay. Make a friend and travel across the country to find your own dragon.</span><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;"> </span><span class="x3nfvp2 x1j61x8r x1fcty0u xdj266r xhhsvwb xat24cr xgzva0m xxymvpz xxk0z11 xvy4d1p" style="font-family:inherit;vertical-align:middle;margin:0px 1px;width:24px;height:24px;">- Stephen Kutz</span></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div style="font-family:inherit;"> <div class="x168nmei x13lgxp2 x30kzoy x9jhf4c x6ikm8r x10wlt62" style="font-family:inherit;"> <div style="font-family:inherit;"> <div style="font-family:inherit;"> <div style="font-family:inherit;"> <div class="x1n2onr6" style="font-family:inherit;"> <div class="x6s0dn4 xi81zsa x78zum5 x6prxxf x13a6bvl xvq8zen xdj266r xktsk01 xat24cr x1d52u69 x889kno x4uap5 x1a8lsjc xkhd6sd xdppsyt" style="margin:0px 16px;padding:10px 0px;border-bottom:1px solid;line-height:1.3333;font-family:inherit;"> <div class="x6s0dn4 x78zum5 x1iyjqo2 x6ikm8r x10wlt62" style="font-family:'Segoe UI Historic', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(101,103,107);"> <div class="x1i10hfl xjbqb8w x1ejq31n xd10rxx x1sy0etr x17r0tee x972fbf xcfux6l x1qhh985 xm0m39n x9f619 x1ypdohk xe8uvvx xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd x16tdsg8 x1hl2dhg xggy1nq x1o1ewxj x3x9cwd x1e5q0jg x13rtm0m x1n2onr6 x87ps6o x1lku1pv x1a2a7pz x1heor9g xnl1qt8 x6ikm8r x10wlt62 x1vjfegm x1lliihq" style="list-style:none;margin:0px;text-align:inherit;border-style:none;padding:0px;border-width:0px;background-color:transparent;color:inherit;font-family:inherit;"> <div class="x9f619 x1ja2u2z xzpqnlu x1hyvwdk xjm9jq1 x6ikm8r x10wlt62 x10l6tqk x1i1rx1s" style="width:1px;height:1px;font-family:inherit;"><span style="font-family:inherit;">All reaction</span></div> </div> </div> <div class="x1c4vz4f x2lah0s xci0xqf" style="width:7px;font-family:'Segoe UI Historic', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(101,103,107);"> </div> <div class="x1c4vz4f x2lah0s xci0xqf" style="width:7px;font-family:'Segoe UI Historic', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(101,103,107);"> </div> <div class="x1c4vz4f x2lah0s xci0xqf" style="width:7px;font-family:'Segoe UI Historic', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(101,103,107);"> </div> <div class="x1c4vz4f x2lah0s xci0xqf" style="width:7px;font-family:'Segoe UI Historic', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(101,103,107);"> </div> <div class="x9f619 x1n2onr6 x1ja2u2z x78zum5 x2lah0s x1qughib x1qjc9v5 xozqiw3 x1q0g3np xykv574 xbmpl8g x4cne27 xifccgj" style="margin:-6px;font-family:'Segoe UI Historic', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(101,103,107);"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">LOVE this story!
