Abandoned: What Is God's Will for the Jewish People and the Church?

Messianic Jews will be refreshed and find much food for thought in Telchin's book. He has a unique perspective and offers insights into God's divine purpose and will for His Beloved, Israel. I read this book from cover to cover in one day, it was simply delicious reading and reminded me of the power of God to save souls, Jews and Gentiles alike. This work is also extraordinarily easy for the layman to comprehend. Terrific book!

As a Jew, I believe Abandoned portrays a very accurate picture of how Jewish people were misled regarding the Messiah. When I see such vacant arguments presented by others such as "A Jewish person would not believe in Jesus", it is clear how desperately a book like this is needed.

Stan Telchin's book is a bulls-eye. A very accurate historical approach embracing a Judeo-Christian timeline. As a Messianic Jew, Stan uncovers the great deception that has blinded the Jew for centuries. His ability to unveil the lies and inaccuracies most Jews live unknowingly....a great book to give an unsaved Jewish friend...no need to say anything, just give the book...Stan and God will do the rest.

Mr. Telchin has written a terrific book. Abandoned has a short history of split between Jews and Christians - enough to get you started, if studying history is your thing. But the book is primarily about the things we Messianic Gentiles (another way of saying non-Jewish believers in Christ) need to know in order to approach our Jewish sisters and brothers. Jews have reason to fear Christians; many churches still teach that God has given up on His Chosen People and has transferred His blessing to the Church, despite the Promises of God in the Old Testament, despite the clear teaching of Paul in Romans, despite the Words of our Saviour! To lovingly breach the walls that have grown between us, we believers in Yahshua (the name of Jesus in Hebrew) need to understand the feelings and thoughts of Jews here in North America. Mr. Telchin's book documents the modern concerns of his people, and (most interestingly) his own struggles in finally believing Moses and the Prophets. Often heartbreaking, but necessary reading.

This book gives an excellent but brief summary of the Church's attitudes towards the Jews, the essentials of the Jewish faith and a challenge to Christians to share their faith with Jews. Since the author is a Jewish believer he shares many excellent insights that a non-Jew would not have.
