Engaging with Jewish People

B N Howard

To my mind there is no better starting point for preparing to share the gospel with Jewish people than this excellent guide. Page after page, I found myself wanting to cheer out loud because of its wisdom and helpfulness. Nothing in recent years has reinvigorated my own desire to speak to Jewish people about Jesus more than this book. It’s slim in size, but mighty in worth.

Randy Newman is a Jewish believer in Jesus who had the joy of seeing his elderly Jewish parents come to their Messiah. I have partnered with Randy over many years in various types of Jewish outreaches and have always appreciated his great sense of humor, depth of soul, passion for his own people and his uncanny ability to effectively communicate what is important about the gospel message. In this new book, Randy is able to apply his wealth of practical experience and great skills that have been honed over time and tempered by excellent theological training. I know that this book will be a great help in the field of Jewish evangelism and as president of Chosen People Ministries I look forward to using Engaging Jewish People in training my Gentile brothers and sisters to reach Jewish people for Yeshua the Messiah.

“Great, efficient, simple, helpful apologetics”

This book is great for someone who wants a basic introduction to Jewish people's culture and beliefs. Good thing is if you're Christoan their will be some things that you'll find familiar Christianity being of Jewish origin. However there's much more fun facts and cool apologetics stuff to it. If you get this book down, analysed and locked into your mind, it can help many of our Jewish friends perhaps even Non- Jewish Christians to come to faith in the our awesome triune God. Praise Jesus. If you're someone who wants to study Judaism for more in depth, further outreach, I would recommend this book as a starter and then buy other, more in depth Christian books on evangelising our Jewish friends. Dr, Michael Brown's "answers to Jewish objections" book series could be good for this greater complexity if you would like. Randy Newman, at the end of the book, gives some cool reading materials like books and websites for further, complex and simple alike Jewish study with honest, fact based Christian material. Back to Randy's book though, it's a 10/10 for me and I would highly recommend it. This is a key foundation knowledge block for Christians to have when they desire to engage with Jewish people more. This is a must quite simply. Not much more to say. In my view this is a pretty much perfect book for basic Judaic study. God bless the author and anyone reading this review, anyone of you who'll go on to read this book by Randy and our beloved Jewish friends of course. May Jesus our God and saviour grant them shalom in his Holy Spirit. Amen. 🙏💪✝️
