Hebrew Roots Resources
Our
Lost Legacy by Dr. John Garr
For the past nineteen centuries,
millions of believers have been denied their biblical
legacy, the riches of the Hebrew foundations of
their faith. Christian Judaeophobia, anti-Judaism,
and anti-Semitism have conspired to rob them of
the treasures of their inheritance. This book
presents elected essays and lectures in which
Dr. Garr urges the church to recover its Hebrew
heritage, its connection with the Jewish matrix
from which it was produced. These pages call Christians
back to the Bible, to the roots of faith that
enrich lives and equip believers to achieve greater
maturity through a more complete knowledge of
Jesus, our Jewish Lord. Order from Restoration
Foundation.

Father Abraham: Jewish Roots of the Christian
Faith by Marvin R. Wilson

and New Testaments, and calls Christians to examine
their Hebrew roots. Upon completion of this book
you will: Understand the importance of reading
and interpreting Scripture from the context in

Testament) telling another; Have a general understanding
of the 1st Century believers and how Christianity
became separate from Judaism. Paperback - 374

Christianity
Is Jewish by Edith Schaffer
Exploring the historical and spiritual
significance of the Jewish race, this treatment
presents the Bible as a unified document in which
God has progressively unfolded the plan of salvation.
Christianity Is Jewish, lovingly and gently presents
the salvation message of Jesus Christ, the long
awaited, Jewish Messiah in a logical and deductive
fashion. It brings the thread of Redemption from
the promise of the Messiah in Genesis, through
the fulfillment of the prophecies of the Jewish
prophets. It clearly shows Christianity as a grafted
vine rooted in Judaism. We are the logical fulfillment
of Judaism, not a new invention of man's thoughts.
Edith Schaeffer is never harsh or confrontational
and her book is an easy and enjoyable read. Paperback:
224 pages.

The
Hem of His Garment by Dr. John Garr
As you read this
volume, you'll be simply amazed at just how Jewish
Jesus really was! You'll also be enriched by a
comprehensive understanding of spiritual lessons
found in biblically Hebraic dress.The story in
Matthew 9 is not just an isolated, one-of-a-kind
event in the life of Jesus, a time when one lone
woman reached out and touched the hem of his garment
to be healed. Hidden from the eye of the reader
of these stories is an enriching key to understanding
what actually happened on these days of deliverance.
Most versions of the Bible tell us that she touched
the "hem of his garment"1 or the "border of his
garment"2 or the "edge of his cloak"3 or the "fringe
of his cloak."4 None of these translations, however,
adequately conveys one important detail of the
event. Without this detail, we simply miss the
richness of this event and of an entire tradition
in biblical history. This
book
is available online!
