Book Description
According to the Bible, Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus Christ) is a divine person who for the redemption of humanity became, for a brief moment in history, a human being. He has undoubtedly had more influence on the world's population than any other individual! Although information about Yeshua is abundant, beginning in antiquity, recent discoveries such as the Dead Sea Scrolls have provided a treasure-trove of new and exciting information. This book begins with an examination of the ancient and recent sources and produces a portrait of Yeshua within the context of the Second Temple Era and with new light shed on the person, teachings, extraordinary works, and associations of the Savior. The title of this work is "Yeshua: He Will Be Called A Nazarene." It has long been believed that Matthew 2:23 asserts only that Yeshua was a resident of the town of Nazareth, and therefore was known as a Nazarene. However, a careful study of the historical evidence and the Greek text of the New Testament reveals that the term "Nazarene" was a reference to a sect of Judaism. This sect known as the Nazarenes was a branch group of the Essenes of Dead Sea Scrolls fame! Yeshua's association with this group sheds new light on many of his beliefs, practices, and teachings! Those who followed Yeshua constituted a body of believers that came to be known as the Christian Church (Acts 11:26); but before they were graced with this Greek designation, they were known by other Hebrew names such as "The Way" (Acts 9:2) and, perhaps most significantly: "The Sect of the Nazarenes!" (Acts 24:5). After the destruction of Israel and Jerusalem along with its Temple in the year 70 of the common era, one sect of Judaism, the Pharisees, survived, prospered, and eventually developed into modern day Rabbinic Judaism. At the same time, the sect of the Nazarenes also survived and, in the wake of many changes, has evolved into the largely Gentile Christian Church. Though these two great world religions developed along parallel historical paths, they have traditionally been separated by hatred, prejudice, and ignorance. However, in recent times, individuals in these groups have drawn close to each other. Jewish people are coming to faith in Yeshua as their Messiah and Savior. The Messianic Jewish movement has grown in amazing, even miraculous ways in just a generation! At the same time, traditional Christians are discovering that Jesus was Jewish! Excitement over newly discovered historical information has led many Christians to explore the Jewish Roots of their own Christian faith! We are indeed living in exciting times! Yeshua's dream of creating from diverse races, cultures, and belief systems "one new man" (Ephesians 2:15) is once again becoming a reality!

Book Description
This book will explore the Old Testament roots of Christianity and how that Judaism and Christianity are inherently the same; this book expounds the well-founded connection to Jesus and the ancient prophetic writings. Prophecy is one of the single-most powerful pieces of evidence of the supernatural workings of God on earth and hence a focal point for establishing the Messiahship of Jesus. This book is essential for any non-believer seeking a case for why he or she should believe that Jesus died, was resurrected, and that He is ultimately the Savior of our souls. In addition, the knowledge and understanding that can be gained are not just relevant for non-believers, but the book is also a powerful tool for Christians who don't know everything there is to know about Messianic prophecy. When Christians also understand the true potency of their own faith, they are better able to teach Christ to others. The author is a recent college graduate having earned his BS in Biology from Valdosta State University in 2005. His life in serving God began at the age of 13 at which time he personally experienced the life-changing power of Christ, and hence, the purpose-filled journey began. Now he hopes to help others to experience the miraculous power of Jesus that he experienced. In relation to the writing of this book, the inspiration was born out of a love for the Jewish people and a desire to see all of God's lost sheep saved. In addition, he also hopes to enlighten everyday Christians making them more aware of the power of the surety of their hope in Christ. He currently resides in the southeastern United States.

Book Description
***SEE BELOW FOR AN IMPORTANT UPDATE!!!*** While the dawn of the new millennium has brought an unprecedented interest to the field of New Testament studies and the search for the historical Jesus, a critical piece in early Christian development has been noticeably absent: Tertullus laid charges against Paul in the following address to the governor: "Your Excellency we have found him to be a troublemaker a ringleader of the sect known as the Nazarenes Paul said "I admit that I follow the Way, which they call a sect. I worship the God of our ancestors, and I firmly believe the Jewish law and everything written in the books of prophecy. I have hope in God, just as these men do, that he will raise both the righteous and the ungodly." Acts 24:2,5,11-15 (NLT) Put simply, the world has so embraced the story of how the apostle Paul took a small Jewish apocalyptic sect and transformed it into a global Gentile movement, that it has forgotten the very first followers of Jesus, otherwise known as "Nazarenes". What were they like, and how did their beliefs differ from the Roman based model that sprang up later? Even from the Catholic fathers, we are given some tantalizing clues: "But these sectarians did not call themselves Christians, but "Nazarenes," however they are simply complete Jews. They use not only the New Testament but the Old Testament as well, as the Jews do They have no different ideas, but confess everything exactly as the Law proclaims it and in the Jewish fashion, except for their belief in the Messiah, if you please! For they acknowledge both the resurrection of the dead and the divine creation of all things, and declare that God is one, and that His Son is Y'shua the Messiah. They are trained to a nicety in Hebrew. For among them the entire Law, Prophets and the Writings are read in Hebrew, as they surely are by the Jews. They are different from the Jews, and different from Christians, only in the following. They disagree with the Jews for they have come to faith in Messiah; but since they are still fettered with the Law circumcision and the Sabbath, and the rest they are not in accord with Christians They have the Good News according to Matthew in its entirety in Hebrew. For it is clear they still preserve this, in the Hebrew alphabet, as it was originally written." Epiphanus; Panarion 29 (fourth century) Are these Nazarenes actually the unknown continuation of the Apostle Paul's ministry? What about the "Jerusalem Church" mentioned so frequently by Paul and headed up by Peter and James the Just? Why is it only now that we can tell the story of Christendom's most influential group throughout its first fifty years and above all what happened to them? Furthermore, even a casual glance at any New Testament will show the Gospel of Matthew given the honor of being the first book in the collection. Such an arrangement, directly derived from ancient belief of what was written when, is currently ignored because modern scholarship accords this honor to Mark. Similarly, while the scholarly world has all but forgotten the Nazarenes, they have proclaimed almost universally that the New Testament was originally written in Greek, despite strong early testimony and clear textual evidence to the contrary. However, since the fourth century, the Nazarenes at some time seem to have vanished off the face of the earth. As a result, their existence has now been rendered into little more than a footnote in history, and their connection to the original Christian movement and their Semitic scriptures, have been believed to be lost forever. That is, until now. Now, for the first time, a modern Nazarene breaks his silence and details the results of more than four years of research in his provocative new book "Signs of the Cross". As a work destined to turn upside down the current Greek compositional model of the New Testament, "Signs of the Cross" breaks new grou

Book Description
We believe that Jesus is our Redeemer, our Savior who was born of a woman, lived, died because of blasphemy, and resurrected. We believe that all the events in His life was to culminate to our redemption by grace from the death sentence in Eden. However, beyond that general portrayal, who is Jesus who was translated from Heaven, miniaturized to a zygote and implanted in the womb of Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit and who went back to Heaven to return again? Unbeknownst to you, the answer to the question of the identity of Jesus in Heaven is a matter of eternal life or eternal death because our salvation depends also on confessing who He is (Romans 10:9 (CLV); 1 Corinthians 12:3). In the language of the translations of the Bible, must we witness and confess that Jesus the Nazareth is LORD|Lord in English or YHWH|ADONAI in Hebrew? Must we also confess and believe His blasphemy in order to be saved? What does it mean to confess that 'Jesus is LORD', according to the Greek manuscript (and not all the translations), since Jesus the Nazarene is already known or referred to as Our Lord Jesus Christ by all? First, set your heart for understanding. Pray. Then, start reading.
