Description
The ancient writings of Scripture are overflowing with modern-day lessons. If we heed what they have to tell us, we will find ageless wisdom and timeless truths. Come explore their depths and find hidden treasure. In As It Is Written, Christina oakes challenges the notion that the first five books of the Bible (i.e. the Torah) is antiquated or no longer applies to our lives. Drawing on rabbinic wisdom, Miss Oakes offers a unique perspective on both the Hebraic roots of Christianity and the Messianic aspects of Judaism. A combination of meaty devotional and layperson's commentary, As It Is Written promises to offer fresh insights into the Word of G-d, strengthening faith and giving practical ways of living out this faith in everyday life.
