About this listen
I'm sure you are going to be very surprised to learn that in most Jewish homes, you won't find a Bible there. But, isn't it very strange, you might say...that how come the nation known as the "People of the Book" do not possess a Bible in their homes? What is even more surprising is although you would think that the Jewish people follow and know the Scriptures well, the shocking real truth is that most of the Old Testament books are a mystery to the Jews because they do not know and have never seen the prophecies about Jesus in the books such as Ezekiel, Isaiah, Daniel and Malachi.
And did you know that Jews do not know what they are saying when they are praying, as most Jews cannot understand Hebrew. So now, I suppose you must be wondering how do Jews get rid of all their sins if they don't believe in Jesus Christ? What do Jews believe is the way to get to heaven? You will shocked to find out what's going on in the Jewish world.

Once a person really admits their helpless, sinful condition and accepts Christ as their Savior, can that person ever lose their relationship with Christ? The difference between Ironside's treatment of the subject is that after making his case for the Eternal Security of the Believer, he deals carefully with verses in the Bible which would seem to teach otherwise.

Some say, Catholicism is outdated. It's behind the times. It's boring. They've forgotten our story. It's time to rediscover that there is genius in Catholicism. Christianity has captivated the world for more than 2,000 years. Look a little closer, and you'll see that it is the most dangerous and exciting thing on earth. Catholicism is a game changer. This book looks at the big picture of who God is, what he has revealed to us, and how that will radically impact our lives if we let it.

Heaven may not be what you think it is. We often think of heaven in two extremes: It's either a dreamy existence where we float around on clouds with nothing much to do, or it's something far off in the future that we don't want to happen until we accomplish all that we want to in this life. Both of these are flat wrong, and Tony Evans looks to scripture to set the record straight. Simple and straight forward, Eternity is a short book on what eternity with God will really be like.

Story
Life is fragile. But hope in Christ lasts forever. We tend to go about our day to day routines imagining this earthly existence of ours will just go on and on. But it won’t. Our stay on earth is really very brief. And when a loved one unexpectedly steps out of this life into eternity, it shakes us to the core. We ask ourselves: Is heaven real? Will I see him–will I see her–again? Will we be together again? How can I know for sure?

Story
For decades, many prophetic words have been released, promising revival to the world. Some of these declarations even include numbers, such as “the billion-soul revival.” Most Christians firmly believe that these prophecies are accurate, so they sit back and wait for the coming revival, praying that it will happen soon. But what if we need to do much more than just wait and pray? In Why Revival Tarries, Matthew Robert Payne addresses possible reasons for the delay of the coming revival. But rest assured, you will be surprised at the reasons he lists.

Too many people stumble through life with an inaccurate view of who God is. They believe in His existence, but don't know how to relate to Him in a practical and meaningful way. As a result, they fail to achieve anything beyond a superficial relationship with their Creator, and live less-than-fulfilling lives. In Whatever, God, Fr. Anthony Messeh shares his unique story and the lessons he's learned that helped him go from a "don't get too close to God because He might ruin your life" Christian, to a fully devoted "I can't get enough of God in my life" believer.

You cannot have Christ if you will not serve Him. If you take Christ, you must take Him in all His qualities. You must not simply take Him as a Friend, but you must also take Him as your Master. If you are to become His disciple, you must also become His servant. God-forbid that anyone fights against that truth. It is certainly one of our greatest delights on earth to serve our Lord, and this is to be our joyful vocation even in heaven itself: His servants shall serve Him: and they shall see His face (Revelation 22:3-4).

Story
Hard times come for all in life, with no real explanation. When we walk through suffering, it has the potential to devastate and destroy, or to be the gateway to gratitude and joy. Elisabeth Elliot was no stranger to suffering. Her first husband, Jim, was murdered by the Waoroni people in Ecuador moments after he arrived in hopes of sharing the gospel. Her second husband was lost to cancer. Yet, it was in her deepest suffering that she learned the deepest lessons about God.

When Jesus was sent by the Father to save the world, He did so not only for the sins that mankind committed, but to prepare everyone to walk in His world and take your rightful place in the Kingdom of the Father. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

Good Book, needs more
What made the experience of listening to Why I Left the Jewish Religion to Follow Jesus the most enjoyable?
I did learn some things about the practice of Judiasm that I had not heard anywhere else. I found some of the facts very interesting.
Would you be willing to try another book from Bernard Levine? Why or why not?
I'm not sure. I think in a sequel the author could explain more about why Jews don't use more books of the Old Testament, perhaps interview some rabbis. I expected more of a redemptive book aimed at Jewish people. The content is more like an "inside view of the practice of Judaism" vs. why he became a Christian and more importantly his experience with Jesus. I almost wanted him to reverse the chapter order and talk about the OT prophecies of Jesus and then go into a segment that talks about his day to day relationship, communion, and fellowship with Jesus. As it is currently written I don't know if there is enough meat to the "why" he left to draw people out of Judaism other than Christianity has less rules. I grew up Catholic, and have also been in "holiness" churches where the rules are strict and on the surface the burden of the religious laws might not seem too different. I think if I were Jewish it might come across as bashing the way it starts out--spend less time on all the rules that have to be followed and more about your new relationship with the living God. Hope I didn't offend.
What does John Alan Martinson Jr. bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
John always does a good job making the audiobooks easy to listen to. He has a smooth, calm, easy presentation that is easy to follow.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
There was a statement that most Jews don't understand Hebrew. I wanted him to elaborate on this because I thought a lot of Jews were highly encouraged to study Hebrew.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
