Imagine Yeshua of Nazareth telling you his story, in his own words.
Yeshua First-Person is a literal translation of his four ancient biographies, but phrased in the first-person, so you can experience just that. See the world from Yeshua Ben-Yosef's point of view and understand what it was like to be him as, finally, history's most controversial Rabbi speaks for himself.
"I stood on the beach, but the talmidim didn't know that it was me. I said to them, 'My sons, have you anything to eat?'"
Walk with the Master.
Find yourself trailing alongside the carpenter turned prophet-taken aback by his interactions, surprised by his miracles, amused at his followers. . . so caught up in the first-person narrative you can't put it down.
"They woke me up and asked me, 'Rabbi, don't you care that we are dying?' I rebuked the wind and said to the sea, 'Shalom! Be still!'"
Meet the first disciples.
Nothing will touch you more than the raw humanness of the talmidim, their personal stories, and their Rabbi's frustrations and pride over them: Shimon and Yehuda, Miriam and Shoshana, Zakkai and Nakdimon. . .
"I saw Netanel coming to me, and said about him, 'Hinei! A Ben-Yisrael indeed, in whom is no deceit!'"
See ancient Israel.
From the windy shores of the Kinneret, to the rolling hills of the Galil, to the bustling shuks of Yerushalaim, the original names of Yeshua's familiar haunts impart a sense of vivid authenticity.
"I came to Natzeret where I had been brought up. As was my custom, I entered into the shul on Shabbat and stood up to read."
Learn Hebrew/Aramaic with the Jewish Jesus.
Taste the actual words Yeshua used, still widely recognized today for their soulful meaning and resonance.
"I said to them, 'Is a menorah brought to be put under a basket? If any man has ears to shema, let him shema!'"
Sit at the feet of Rabbi Jesus every day.
Mattai, Mark, Luke, and Yochanan: divided into 365 portions for daily reading.
A great journey awaits you!
How will you know how much you almost missed unless you take the next step? Order your copy of Yeshua First-Person and prepare for a personal encounter with the greatest and most misunderstood of the Jewish prophets.
"I turned and saw them following and said, 'What are you looking for?' They said to me, 'Rabbi, where are you staying?' I said to them, 'Come and see!'"
