This book is written as both an enticement to question and as an encouragement to both new believers - and those who are disheartened with the direction the Church has taken today. This book does not answer all questions, but that is not its purpose. The purpose of this book is to encourage you to ask questions and seek God and His Word for the truth. Questioning is a good thing; it is something to be promoted and encouraged amongst believers. Blind acceptance of teachers and teachings can lead to acceptance of every wind of doctrine, which may be contrary to the very Word of God to which we are supposed to adhere.

Discernment is an important issue within the faith and unfortunately seems to have been put on the back burner in favour of Yoga, Martial Arts, New Age and Contemplative techniques. This book gives another perspective on the Roots of our Faith and the Roots of some of these controversial practices and encourages you to look at Scripture from a Biblical Perspective rather than just listening to others - whose overall agenda may not be in line with Scripture.

This book opens up new avenues of thought on Biblical interpretation - looking at Scripture from a Judaic perspective - which after all was the way in which it was originally understood. Jesus, Paul and John were all Jews and understood from the cultural perspective they were rooted in. this book helps to open that perspective to christians today.

very educational read.
