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A blend of memoir, travelogue, historical document and investigative journalism, Love Triangles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

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">&quot;Steve Pomper's book may well save you a ticket, or it <br />might just save your life. We all slow down when we see a cop talking to a driver <br />he's pulled over because we're curious. Now, read about what really goes on. <br />You will be surprised and if  those of you who view traffic stops with <br />annoyance, impatience and, even anxiety, will pay attention to the advice offered <br />here, I think you'll pay fewer fines and avoid racking up so many dings on your <br />driving record. This is also a great read--full of anecdotes that will make you <br />laugh, gasp, and understand both cops and other drivers much better! I'm <br />surprised that no one thought of this idea before; it's a natural. After you read <br />this, the sight of whirling blue bubble lights in your rear view mirror won't <br />be nearly so scary. As an ex-cop myself, I know that men and women in law <br />enforcement want first to protect the rest of us, and Pomper has done that with his <br />writing as well as with his badge. I love this book!&quot;<br /> <br />--Ann Rule<br />Author of Green River, Running Red, Small Sacrifices, and Too Late to Say <br />Goodbye  <br /><br /></font></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;">“Officer Steve Pomper’s book will not only go a long way toward improving communication between police officers and drivers, it will also better educate the public on the daily stress and difficulties officers confront trying to keep us safe. It should be mandatory reading material in every driver’s education class in America.”</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;">Robert Dugoni, New York Times best-selling author of <em>The Jury Master, Damage Control, </em>and<em> Wrongful Death.</em></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"></p>
