My New Book, Following Christ
I wrote a book over the past year and a half or so, and it recently became available on
Amazon and other sources. I’m excited about it, and it’s the passion of my life right now.
The full title is: Following Christ-Rediscovering the Jewish Faith of Jesus. It makes the case that Jesus and his early followers remained entirely within Judaism. The only difference was that Jesus claimed to be the promised descendant of David who was to regather the tribes and reign from Jerusalem. Many people followed him during his lifetime, but his announcement of the kingdom was rejected by the temple leadership, who turned him over to the Romans to have him killed. But that was actually what God intended from the beginning. His death would take the place of the deserved punishment for people who embraced his gift.
The book makes the point that we can please God by living like Jesus did. And Jesus certainly lived according to all the commands that God gave his people through Moses, the Torah or Law. Why has most of historic Christianity distanced itself from these commands? The book goes into that, too. I think that you’ll find a great deal of insight in the perspective that this book presents.
I encourage you to get the book, read it, and if you like it, leave a review or rating. You can find it at https://www.amazon.com/ Following-Christ-Rediscovering-Jewish-Faith/dp/1958211621/ (remove spaces), or else at https://www.barnesandnoble.com/ w/following-christ-harry-buerer-ma/1144082616
