Stan Telchin explores in depth the heart and soul of Messianic Judaism. He exposes the motive behind its creation, its controversial doctrines and its ineffectiveness in Jewish evangelism.

With a firm and loving approach, he addresses the dangers of this movement, reiterates God's intention for his Church to serve as "one new man" and, most importantly, advocates unity among the body of believers.

Perhaps you're a pastor concerned with the enticing pull of Messianic Judaism on your congregation. Perhaps you've merely wondered about the validity of this movemment. Or maybe you're a Gentile who has been made to feel less than worthy. Whatever the reason, if you believe that God sees a difference between Jews and Gentiles in the Body of Christ, then this book will help you think again.

Stan Telchin answered that question in one word: Betrayed! And his book explains how he tried to disprove the Messiahship of Jesus.

"Betrayed! is the sensitive account of a loving family caught on divergent prongs of a tragic and historical conflict. It is the story of an unusual kind of "healing".

Responding to his daughter's touching plea, the author sets out on a search back through the pages of time. Along the way, he is faced with personal challenges that demand a life-changing decision. As you travel with him, you will discover a deeper, fuller awareness of Judaism and Christianity, a healing attitude that can free you from the bitterness of the most heated conflicts, one family's resolution of a seemingly irreparable split."

In Abandoned, we meet the modern, often secular face of contemporary Jewry. Telchin asks: What do today's Jews believe about God and the Bible? What keeps them from considering the Gospel?

Then he addresses the big lie: "You cannot be Jewish and believe in Jesus."

Finally, he guides us to the heart of the matter: Why the Jewish people really need Jesus and how we can develop a faithful, loving witness to them.

Abandoned is an invaluable guide to help us share God's love with the people who are always on His heart.

Part of my vision when I wrote Abandoned, was that this book would be used in Bible Schools, Seminaries, Sunday School Classes and Home Groups. Before long, readers too recognized the importance of using the book in this way and asked me to prepare a Study Guide to help them. I am thrilled to tell you that the newly completed Study Guide for Abandoned is finished and ready to be mailed. It is arranged into fourteen lessons and follows the layout of my book very well. This is an excellent tool to help equip you to share the love of God with your Jewish friends and I commend it to you.
