The
Distortion: 2000 Years of Misrepresenting the Relationship Between Jesus
the Messiah and the Jewish People $9.99 (Amazon) "Jews just don’t believe in Jesus, and never have!" "The Jews killed Jesus; they rejected their own Messiah." These statements, although common, are just not true! This book exposes how these misunderstandings began, how they continued through the last two millennia, what it has cost, not only the Jewish people, but also the Church. In this timely, eye-opening book, Drs. John and Patrice Fischer answer ancient questions being raised anew in response to the film, The Passion of the Christ. Here are just a few of the topics covered:
The Distortion reveals how the facts of the New Testament gradually got distorted in the minds of people, and shows what can be done to rectify something that has led to travesty and tragedy for 2000 years.
Yeshua of Nazareth was Jewish. The Bible was written by Jews. Yet even before the second century of our era, Christians began to cut themselves off from their Jewish roots and to rebuild the "dividing wall of hostility" that Yeshua came to break down. Brotherly love was replaced with suspicion, intolerance and fear. Gentiles adopted Yeshua as exclusively their own, and Jews grew to fear the very word Christian. John Fischer is both a follower of Yeshua and a Jew who cares deeply about his people. Gentile and Jew can once again share Israel's Messiah, he maintains, but those who wish to reintroduce Yeshua to the Jewish people need to be sensitive to Jewish hopes and fears, sorrows and joys. Fischer weaves two themes into each chapter: first, Jewish ideas, attitudes and ways of life, and second, the best ways to share Messiah with Israel. Two extensive appendices help tailor the message to individuals.
$13.95 each Step by step in this book you will travel alongside Marianne Fischer on her suspenseful, eventful voyage.

Even her entry into the United States, her country, is by a "back door." This is but one of many miracles as Marianne and George Fischer (Dr. John Fischer's parents) find the meaning of... "for He shall give His angels charge over thee." As Marianne says, "What a Messiah He has proven to be!" L'Chaim
