When reading the Bible we often miss essential details that add richness and significance, and therefore don't grasp the bigger picture. New York Times bestselling author Rabbi Jason Sobel, in his unique and engaging way, helps readers see God's story in high definition, enabling them to better understand the cultural and historical background of Scripture, God's intention for every detail, and how it applies to our lives.

Revealing hidden gems of prophecy and promises, Transformed by the Messiah helps answer questions such as:

Is there any significance to the fact that Jesus was born in Bethlehem?How does the Messiah's baptism set an example for us to emulate and what did it undo?Did the Messiah have to die on a cross and why did he not rise until the third day?Who are the shepherds and why was it important that the baby be found wrapped in swaddling cloth and laid in a manger?How can we embrace a supernatural perspective--living with a sense of possibility--and not be limited by a strictly natural perspective?Why does Genesis 3 talk about the "seed of a woman?"Why were the disciples so willing to immediately drop their nets, leave their families, and follow Jesus?

You'll also learn how to respond with faith, not fear; trust God's plan, purpose, and provision; and move forward in the power of the Spirit.

If you need hope, or simply a better understanding of God's plan of redemption for all mankind and your part in it, Transformed by the Messiah will open your heart and mind to be able to live in the supernatural power of God's Spirit as you follow Jesus and His command to make disciples. And whether you are Jewish or not, to help you read and study in a way that connects His story in the Old and New Testaments.

I truly have been transformed by the Messiah because of this book! Highly recommend it!

Finally there is a biblically based book that explains how the Old Testament and New Testament come together in the life of the Messiah, Jesus Christ (Yeshua), and explains it in an easy to understand way!   Rabbi Jason's helps me to understand how each aspect of Messiah Yeshua's life was not a coincidence, but was used to usher in God's kingdom by explaining how many of those aspects actually point to His Jewish heritage, and why that was important back then, and to believers now!  I learned so much about my Lord that I never knew before, for example, why there were geneaologies, and why there were both Jews & Gentiles in Jesus' lineage. I learned that the Hebrew alphabet has a numerical value, and how some of those values add up to words related to the Messiah.  I even learned who the shepherds were who welcomed Jesus, and why they were important, and even about the swaddling clothes, and why according to Jewish tradition, Jesus was wrapped in them, and so much more!  A tremendous bonus was that each chapter ended with bullet points reiterating what was discussed, with ways to apply what I learned to my own life, and also a prayer for the reader that felt like they were my own personal prayers.  With every chapter ended like that, I could just feel the love and support of Rabbi Jason for me as the reader, and I really appreciated it!! I felt like he was just writing to me personally, even though I know that's not the case!  So I highly recommend this book because as someone who has read every page, I can say that thru it, I have truly been transformed by the Messiah, and I am so thankful to Rabbi Jason Sobel!!!!

This is a must read!!!

“This book is absolutely incredible! Rabbi Jason has a unique gift for revealing the deep connections between the Old and New Testaments. His insights into the Jewish roots of Yeshua completely transform the way you read Scripture. You’ll never see the Bible the same way again — it opens your heart and mind to a whole new level of understanding.”
