Restoration: Returning The Torah Of God To The Disciples Of Jesus

This book was simply amazing. I am so very glad that it came at a time when we had already drawn our own conclusions from our own studies, because what this book does is eloquently explain what it is we've been learning over the past several years. If I were able to write about what we believe and how we came to these beliefs in Messiah, my book would look a lot like this book that D. Thomas Lancaster has written. Reading this book was like reading transcripts of many of the conversations that DH and I have had together over the several years.

This book begins to place Yeshua (aka Jesus) back into His proper context as a Jewish Rabbi and as the Hebrew Messiah. Yeshua was Torah observant because He is the Word made flesh. He could not violate Torah because that would be violating Himself, the very Word that He and the Father gave to Moshe (aka Moses). If He had violated Torah in any way He would never had any credibility as a prophet, let alone a Rabbi. To begin to understand what a Torah observant Messiah looks like opens a whole new door of understanding of our Who our Master is and who the Apostles were.

I encourage anyone to get a copy of this book and read it. It will challenge some preconceived ideas you may have about Yeshua and it will explain, at least a little, how the great divorce between Judaism and Christianity came to be.

As I said, this book is built upon the learning that we have done as a family over the past several years, only we didn't write it. It is a pleasure to read and so easy to understand. Lancaster has been greatly gifted with explaining sometimes difficult things to his readers in an understandable way.
