Jewish Droctors Meet: The Great Physician

This is a powerful set of stories from various Jewish doctors who each were faced with the question of how to reconcile what to do with Jesus. Was he a complete fraud or was he the Messiah, Yeshua? Each person came to this decision point in their life for different reasons and in different ways. Each was a highly educated person in the medical profession, who approached the question very logically and philosophically. Each had to debate within and with others whether believing Jesus was the Messiah would somehow make them not Jewish. Each had to face the ways their life would change forever with family and friends if they would choose to believe Jesus was who the New Testament says he was. And each had to decide if their life would be better with Jesus in it. I strongly recommend this book! I couldn't put it down. It was one exciting story after another. It is highly mixed with great insight into Jewish life and tradition as well.

The stories compiled here are authentic and sincere. These are doctors, generously sharing their very personal accounts of how they came to discover, albeit reluctantly, the absolute truth of the love and saving grace of a very Jewish Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth. These stories are written by doctors, not writers. That element alone kept the reading pace clear, quick, and thoroughly interesting. I am gentile. I learned a great deal about my Jewish brothers and sisters in Christ. Especially the seemingly insurmountable obstacles placed before the Jewish seeker of Biblical Truth; family, tradition, religion, indifference, investment, etc.. I found the input near the end of the book by Ruth Rosen to be fascinating. Her perspective on faith was truly insightful. Her words have helped me articulate what true faith is. Rosen's commentary on Hebrews 11:1 ( A New Testament letter) became revelation for me. I am grateful to her for giving Glory to God by bringing this book to light. Finally; David Brickner's thoughtful rendition, describing the meeting of a desperate but faithful woman and the Christ, made those scriptures in the Gospel of John so much more relevant and meaningful. If you are a believer in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit you will be encouraged to fight the good fight of faith. If you are gentile and a seeker of absolute truth, you will find insight into the level of courage and surrender you will face if you are sincere in your attempts to grasp it. If you are Jewish and are being called by the Spirit of God to search, reason, explore, and discover who Jesus is, do not harden your hearts, but seek His face while He can still be found. Read this book. May God bless you right now.
