New Menu Item
Check out the top menu bar for the entry: Wittenberg Encounter.
That tells about my first book which I just published on Kindle. I encourage
you to get this on Kindle and let me know what you think. I’ve created the
website IntriguingLove@gmail.com
to collect questions and comments and the blog www.IntriguingLove.blogspot.com
to promote the books I plan to write in the series. I’m well into the second
book, Prague Rendezvous, and I hope to release it later this year or early next
year and I have a good start on the third book: Krakow Union.
Shavuot 2016 Conference
I attended the Shavuot 2016 conference in Hudson, Wisconsin a
few weeks ago. It was a wonderful time. I continue to be impressed by First
Fruits of Zion and I encourage you to become a “Friend” – a sustaining contributor
to their ministry. Some of the staff who taught were: Boaz Michael, D. Thomas
Lancaster, Toby Janicki, Jordan Levy, Jacob Fronczak, and Aaron Eby. It was
great to be able to speak with many of them one on one. The dynamic
congregation at Beth Immanuel Messianic synagogue in Hudson is amazing. Their
teachers and staff are some of the best in the Messianic movement and people
are moving from all over the country just to live there and attend it. While I
had to leave before it all ended, I did attend all of the teaching sessions and
did experience the Sabbath service which was led by the amazing Troy Mitchell.

Book Corner
There are three related books I recently read by Michael S. Heiser: The
Unseen Realm introduces the beings which populate the Unseen Spiritual
world using references in the Bible that are often overlooked or ignored. It
reads more like a topical Bible Study. The Façade Saga is a series of
novels that mentions some of the concepts from the Unseen Realm, but does so through a very
interesting storyline. In a sense, Michael has done what I am trying to do with
my Intriguing Love series: use a story with endearing characters to explore
many concepts which are bigger than the plot itself. I heartedly recommend
these books!
· The Unseen
Realm
· Façade (Façade
Saga Series Book 1)
· Portent (Façade
Saga Series Book 2) (the third book is not yet released)
I am currently reading Yeshua Matters by Jacob Franczak. I met
Jacob at the Shavuot conference. He has written a number of articles for the
FFOZ Messiah magazine. His story reads a little like my life. As a normal
evangelical who went to Bible school but didn’t really understand Jesus, Jacob
sought to learn more. His family moved to a small town in Lower Michigan where he
started to explore the Jewishness of Jesus. He then went on to Seminary and now
leads a church in Coldwater, Michigan. But it’s probably not a normal church in
that he is very knowledgeable about the Jewishness of Yeshua and
doesn’t want to make the same mistakes that confused him when he was younger.
I also picked up the book The Concealed Light by Tsvi
Sadan at the Shavuot conference. Tsvi is a Messianic Jew in Israel. The book
goes through many of the names of Mashiach (Messiah) and explains how the
Jewish sources interpreted them. I enjoy reading it.
