Our hands are stained with blood: the tragic story of the Church and the Jewish people
"The pages of church history are marked by countless horrors committed against the Jewish people. From the first persecutions of the Jews in the fourth century to the horrors of the Holocaust, from Israel-bashing in today's press to anti-Semitism spouted from the pulpit, this painful book tells the tragic story that every Christian must read. In a freshly updated and expanded edition of this pivotal work, Dr. Michael Brown exposes the faulty theological roots that opened the door to anti-Semitism in Church history, explaining why well-meaning believers so often fall into the trap of hate... and showing how you can bring an end to the cycle of violence. This generation can make a difference. Now is the time for change! Discover the important role you play in helping to shape a Church that will bless Israel rather than curse Israel." -- From back cover.
What do Jewish people think about Jesus? and other questions Christians ask about Jewish beliefs, practices, and history
Written in an accessible style, What Do Jewish People Think about Jesus? answers sixty common questions about Jewish people and Jewish culture. Drawn from the steady stream of questions Michael L. Brown's ministry receives every month, the book's questions reflect the perennial Christian fascination with Jewish customs and beliefs. A Jewish believer himself, Brown provides clear answers to questions like "Are there Jewish denominations?" "What are the ten lost tribes of Israel?" "Do the Jewish people expect a literal Messiah?" and many more. The book also addresses questions Christians have about their own relationship to the Old Testament Law, such as "Should Christians observe the Sabbath on Saturday?" and "Are Gentile Christians spiritual Jews?"
Revolution
"This book is not a call to the violent overthrow of the government, nor is it a call to take up arms, nor is it a call to political activism in and of itself. It is a call to something far more extreme, a call to live out the gospel with all its radical claims, a call for the people of God to impact this generation with the prophetic message of repentance, a call to spark the most sweeping counterculture movement in our nation's history, a call to take back the moral high ground that has been stolen from under our feet, a call to follow Jesus by life or by death"--Page [4] of cover.
