Enjoy Official Review: Online Book Club, Rating: 4 out of 4 stars ...It is refreshing to read a Christian book that recognizes that the love of Christ reaches all believers...a commendable job of showing how Messianic-Christianity i.e., "Messianic Judaism"] allows Jewish believers to follow Christ without being unfaithful to their heritage... The romantic angle of the story is deep and tender...The book is well written and well-edited.
