Book Description
Although the gospel message has been preached for over 2000 years, it is very rarely preached in the original context in which it happened. As a result, the Jewish listener usually believes that this message is exclusively for Gentiles. I was one of those people. Although unintentionally, the Gospel is often presented through the filter of a predominantly "churchy" and Western culture. As a Jewish follower of Yeshua (Jesus), I am passionate to see this message presented in the historical and cultural context in which it happened. The Gospel was never meant to be an exclusive message for "Westernized" and "Christianized" people only. As a result, the Holy Spirit placed the desire on my heart to present the Gospel in the biblical and cultural context in which it took place. This is why I wrote this book, to make it clear to all that the greatest story ever to be told will once again be available to all. Geoffrey Cohen is a Messianic Jew (A Jew who believes that Jesus is the Messiah) born in South Africa. He has been ministering the Word of God and preaching the Gospel for over 35 years. He has preached in more than twenty nations to live audiences, on television and the radio, in Churches and Messianic synagogues, and in many public settings. His passion is to see souls saved, delivered, and become true disciples of Jesus who, in turn, produce more disciples. He has a passion to teach and see the full counsel of God come back to this generation, where mostly only part of the truth is being preached. He is a respected author and Bible teacher. Geoffrey holds a bachelor's Degree in Theology and a business degree. He and his wife Tetiana travel and minister together.

Book Description
Students of American history know of the law's critical role in systematizing a racial hierarchy in the United States. Showing that this history is best appreciated in a comparative perspective, The Long, Lingering Shadow looks at the parallel legal histories of race relations in the United States, Brazil, and Spanish America. Robert J. Cottrol takes the reader on a journey from the origins of New World slavery in colonial Latin America to current debates and litigation over affirmative action in Brazil and the United States, as well as contemporary struggles against racial discrimination and Afro-Latin invisibility in the Spanish-speaking nations of the hemisphere. Ranging across such topics as slavery, emancipation, scientific racism, immigration policies, racial classifications, and legal processes, Cottrol unravels a complex odyssey. By the eve of the Civil War, the U.S. slave system was rooted in a legal and cultural foundation of racial exclusion unmatched in the Western Hemisphere. That system's legacy was later echoed in Jim Crow, the practice of legally mandated segregation. Jim Crow in turn caused leading Latin Americans to regard their nations as models of racial equality because their laws did not mandate racial discrimination-- a belief that masked very real patterns of racism throughout the Americas. And yet, Cottrol says, if the United States has had a history of more-rigid racial exclusion, since the Second World War it has also had a more thorough civil rights revolution, with significant legal victories over racial discrimination. Cottrol explores this remarkable transformation and shows how it is now inspiring civil rights activists throughout the Americas.

Book Description
The compelling, insightful, and challenging memoir of a Christian woman's exploration of her faith while living in community with strictly Orthodox Jews. As Maria Johnson explains: "I knew that Christianity is rooted deep in Judaism, but living in daily contact with a vital and vibrant Jewish life has been fascinating and transforming. I am and will remain a Christian, but I am a rather different Christian than I was before."

Book Description
Experience the humor, heartbreak, and elation of this riveting narrative about Judy Reamer, whose curious mind took her into surprising places and uncharted waters. A book, a trip to Las Vegas, and a worldwide entertainer were all instrumental in moving this independent Jewish Philadelphian beyond her self-centered world. Wired to wonder, Judy ultimately found herself wired for wonders when her dramatically changing worldview led to repeated encounters with Gods supernatural work. Judys story will take you through her escape from the heavy hand of the cults and the strong arm of the turbulent USSR, an unjust courtroom outcome, and her husbands untimely death. But most remarkable of all, youll see what happened when this wondering Jew met the most famous man of all ages, born across the sea. Life was never the same. Nor was it boring. Oy! Wait till you read this story about my great friend Judy. Her writing style is remarkably simple, but her story is simply remarkable. Pat Boone, singer, actor, author Judys story has much to teach, and because of my Jewish background, it resonated profoundly. I love her, and you will too. Sandy Feit, In Touch magazine

Book Description
Finding meaning in the mundane is just a matter of knowing where to look. Herewith, the miraculous nature of everyday life is explored. Through vignettes at turns funny and poignant, Rabbi Leder points out those easily overlooked connections between everyday experiences and the teachings of Judaism. God and spirituality can be found in every aspect of our daily routines. Ordinary things--a pet frog, a weekend fishing trip, a roller coaster ride--become extraordinary when reexamined through Jewish eyes. Woven throughout Rabbi Leder's essays are midrashic texts, talmudic excerpts, and passages from the Torah, reflecting thousands of years of Jewish wisdom. Whether recalling a memorable walk along the beach with Dad, teaching a child the commandment of tzedakah, or stepping into the shoes of an anxious father-to-be as he paces the halls of the maternity ward, these stories reveal Judaism's power to illuminate our lives. On child-rearing: Eleven Suggestions for Raising a Mensch On the paradox of modern life: You can't put one tuchus in two chairs. On miracles: The miraculous is the common and the constant: birth, teaching, our breath. Discover The Extraordinary Nature of Ordinary Things.
