Product Description
Despite the sensational nature of its subject, Lost in Translation- Rediscovering the Hebrew Roots of our Faith is written in simple, clear, rational language that relies 100 percent on the Bible as the ultimate authority. The authors shed light on centuries of confusion surrounding subjects that are seldom addressed in modern sermons and Bible studies. Using ancient Hebrew language and culture, the authors clarify many of the Bible's so-called "mysteries" and help the reader uncover the treasure of foundational truths that have been "lost in translation." Topics include: *Who is the Bride of Messiah? *Is there a difference between covenant and testament? *How does the rainbow reflect God's plan for mankind? *What is the difference between devils, demons, and Nephilim? Join us on an exciting adventure to rediscover the treasures still buried within the pages of The Book that reveal the pathway to the heart of God.

I could not recommend this book more highly. The authors give convincing evidence and argument demonstrating that the bible originally composed in Hebrew rises to over 90 percent. Their are several scripture verses discussed in which the depth of the meaning just doesn't come over from the Greek translation, and it makes much more sense in context when explained from the Hebrew language and the cultural background. The study of the Hebrew betrothal to marriage process is so very interesting and it is impossible to really understand many of the things Jesus said and the book of revelations without understanding that. They discuss the four cups of wine involved in the betrothal process and what they mean. How much meaning does the words of Jesus in the garden, 'if it were possible let this cup pass from me, however not my will but yours be done.' In reference to the cup of suffering, one of the betrothal cups! Nothing Jesus said or did was without great meaning, if we understand it as He meant it. The Lord's words, 'I go to prepare a place for you' are another milestone in the betrothal process! There is teaching regarding the menorah, the Festivals, & Color. All of these subjects are brought out richly through how God instructed the ancient Hebrews and Israelites. There is also a good teaching on the book of Enoch, which was part of the Hebrew scripture's cannon at the time of Christ, and was referred to by many other book of the bible. The book of Enoch was found intact with the Dead Sea scrolls, the old manuscript of the old testament ever found. The Menorah becomes a literal framework for the book of Revelation. If you are a serious student, or just a lover of God wanting to understand His revelation to us in a deeper way, you will want this book.
It is a wonderful, deep and balanced teaching. I appreciate the work of the authors, and can not wait for the next book in the series.
Devils and Demons Revised January 1, 2008

I read this book and was impressed with its remarkable insights into ancient Hebrew perspective, culture and biblical exegesis. The authors' focus is not only about devils and demons; they also cover topics from the Bible's Hebrew origins, to the understanding of covenant, the Jewish Feasts, as well as a refreshing look on ancient mythology. What's more, they profide great historical and scriptural evidence to support their views. I would highly recommend this book to all my friends! Buy it!! Understand however, that this is a new and improved revision of the authors book "Devils and Demons and the Return of the Nephilim", published with a new title and cover.
Wow! November 16, 2008

This is an amazing book! The authors explore the covenants of the Old Testament, and the continued covenants in the New Testament. They were covenants, not testaments. Legally, quite different. And the difference between the way a Greek mind was trained to analyze writings vs. the Hebrew mind is very revealing as to why the Hebrew parts have been passed down through the ages much better than the Greek parts. An exciting read that will explode your faith!
Good book but I have one complaint April 12, 2010

This book is absolutely incredible but let me get straight to my complaint. I was so thrilled with it I ordered the book ,"Devils and Demons, the return of the Nephilim" by the same authors. ITS THE SAME BOOK! So I would recommend the book but don't think you are getting a different book with a different title. Buy only one with whatever cover you like best.
Lost in Translation review March 27, 2010

This really is a breakthrough book of the highest scholarship. It is an easy read that I couldn't put down. It shows that large portions of the New Testament were originally written in Hebrew and then translated into Greek.
Such great first and second century leaders of the Christian faith as Origen, Irenaeus and Jerome said it was first written in Hebrew .especially the Matthew Document which included Matthew, Mark, Luke and Acts on one scroll. It mentions that Hebrew is both phonic and pictographic at the same time. Most Western languages are phonic only and Eastern languages are pictographic. Hebrew is both. In Hebrew each letter is a picture with a meaning of it's own which gives a much deeper meaning.
The book then goes on to describe the difference between covenant and testament and then the Hebrew bridal covenants showing that there is much more to a relationship with God than just getting saved which is the first covenant of the bridal covenants. Getting saved gets you an invitation to the ceremony. Not to be the Bride.
This is a great book to share with a theologian who has only been taught from the Greek point of view which most seminaries do. This is helpful for those who struggle with the Holy Spirit. The theology of only getting saved and anything more is Christ plus legalism is resolved with this book. It shows that there are 4 covenants in the Hebrew marriage process and as Rev. 3:20 shows that "I stand at the door and knock" is only the first covenant in the Hebrew marriage process.
It also gets into where the Greek myths came from - the nephilim of Genesis 6.
They point to volume II which will be an explanation of Revelation from the Hebrew point of view.
Every chapter of this book is very interesting and shows a larger picture of our relationship with Christ.
