A Jewish girl finds her Messiah!

In Israel, a native Jew is called a Sabra (a prickly pear). Hence the book's title. Yaffa's story is a very real, heart-grabbing account of what she endured and encountered on her adventure to accepting Jesus Christ as The Messiah. Her honesty and descriptions give you a real sense of being with her on the journey. I found myself experiencing tears of sorrow and tears of great joy... This biography impressed me and convicted me. I discovered that for a Jew to become a Messianic Jew is not a small step as some gentile Christians might have thought (including me). Yaffa's story made me understand that as gentile Christians, we need to learn (1) to show respect and love to the Jews, including their traditions; (2) to connect with them based on the truths of the Old Testament which point the way to Jesus Christ and will enrich our Christian faith; (3) to lead them to their Jewish Messiah who is also our Jewish Messiah - not to make them gentile Christians. Read it for yourself and see if you agree with me.
