They Thought for Themselves: Ten Amazing Jews

Also great for Christians who wish to hear Jewish stories of faith. Includes stories or Jewish people doing all the research to find their messiah. Heartfelt, short and sweet. Best book I’ve seen on Jewish stories of struggle and faith in Messiah!

God kept communicating I needed to buy this book and pass along to others as just a book can save someone. Sid is the real deal and as usual, his work is incredible and anointed. Much love to all reading this.

The best thing I have ever gotten from Sid Roth. This easy to read book is a must for your Christian library. You can see clearly how Satan deceives people who desire to live good Godly lives but don't. The Jewish culture is something I am not intimately involved with so this book of testimonials helped me to objectively look at how people are blindly obedient to their faith(religion) of birth origin. So whether you born into family that practices Judaism, Catholicism, Protestantism, Hinduism, Sikhism or even Agnostic or Atheistic family we are all blind to the truth of life, the big picture and ultimately what life is all about. I would suggest reading Sharon R. Allen's testimonial (chapter 5) first. Reading this book you'll come to realize that most Jews are discouraged from reading their scriptures from cover to cover. The Catholic Church has also been guilty of the same sin by commission, it has actively discouraging the reading of the Bible by lay people for about 1600 years until about 1960. Satan has also been actively involved in many Protestant churches using the sin of omission when it comes to reading the bible, Satan doesn't tell you not to read the bible in these churches, these pastors and session leadership teams just NEVER ENCOURAGE YOU TO READ THE BIBLE FROM COVER FOR YOURSELF, in other words they fail to encourage you to read your own bible. Most people will virtually be biblically ignorant for life if they never take the time to read their bible from cover to cover. God clearly tells us there is a blessing on those people who will chose to read their bible, not little bits and pieces but the whole thing. A faithful pastor, ministry or church of God will 100% definitely encourage a disciple to read his/her bible from cover to cover, the Rabbis of the Judaism don't do this.

Many people would be discouraged to read this book because of poor rating. However, those who read it with an open mind would agree that it contains compelling real stories of real peoples' experiences. I cannot imagine that those people who contributed their life stories would lie in such detail for no purpose but their own degradation because people who know them would know what really happened and they can testify whether the stories are fake or real. Reading many negative reviews (I am quite convinced that many of them did not read through as many admitted that they quit reading when they noticed the book is about Jewish conversions to Christianity), I felt deep sadness in my heart because it would help many epople in similar situations find the life saving light. Nevertheless, it would not and could not stop the supernatural work of God that will bring up through the book remarkable transformation of lives. This is the end time and massive conversion of Remnants just before Christ's return is prophesized in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. I highly recommend this book to both Jewish and non-Jewish readers. It would really open up your eyes to see the spiritual realm and undersatnd clearly the time we are living in. I pray that those who read this book be richly blessed.

Informative and honest stories about those finding the truth.

I found this book to be fascinating & encouraging. To hear first hand testimonies of people who were courageous enough to explore the underpinnings of their own faith was so refreshing. Too often we humans are afraid to seek the truth, holding onto beliefs simply handed down to us. The people featured in this book are honest about how difficult it was to question their own system of belief. By perseverance they arrive at a new place of faith that they find to be immensely fulfilling!What every human heart longs for is that personal relationship with his or her Creator. These Jews found this relationship in the most logical place of all ... the fulfillment prophesied in their own scriptures.It seems there are many reviewers here who didn't care for the presentation of the testimonies in this book. I hope that many more people will review the book and share their own transformation experience.Perhaps a clarification for those not familiar with Christian evangelism -- Christians don't seek converts to populate their churches or gain "a majority." The heart of people like Sid Roth is to give all people a chance to experience the rich rewards of personal relationship with God - rewards that are both for the here and now and for eternity.

Great assortment of 10 different accounts of Jewish people who came to know Yeshua (Jesus, the rabbi from Nazareth) as Messiah.Encouraging book for gentiles who want to have a better understanding of some of the challenges of speaking to Jewish people about Jesus Christ.Can assist those who have an interest in evangelizing Jews - HOWEVER, you must understand that it is only the Holy Spirit (Ruach Hakodesh) that can truly prepare a person's heart for receiving Yeshua as Messiah.We as the bride of Yeshua are allowed to participate, but are not THE critical factor in bringing a Jewish brother or sister to the saving knowledge of Yeshua Hamashiach."And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. For in this the saying is true: `One sows and another reaps.'" (John 4:36-37 NKJV).Buy this book and read it - but not at the expense of reading His Word.

Excellent book with many amazing testimonies.

Fascinating and thought provoking discussion on Messianic Jews. I’m interested in the viewpoint and this answers many questions I have as a Student of Judaism & religion. Personally I shall read more but this was a great inroad to start opening questions on the topic of receiving Jesus as a Messiah or waiting for the Messiah!

The book is a very clearly written collection of stories of people from different backgrounds who came to see for themselves that Yeshua is the Messiah, that the Messiah has come, and that we need to see for ourselves this truth. It makes a clear case through lives that were changed, beautiful healings between people through forgiveness which only can come through the truth of Yeshua, and other very inspiring stories from a range of backgrounds, all of which started with not believing but came to believing through different ways. I found it very touching to read as I too similarly came to see this truth. It is a good book to share with friends and family members who have not yet received Salvation because it is coming from a viewpoint of personal testimony. Also it is from a Jewish perspective showing how each of the people came to the recognition of the coming together of Jew and Gentile as one in Messiah, so it is a great model to peace in each persons life that all can learn from once we are willing to discard old patterns of behaviour. We are all shaped by all the influences around us and have grown up with so many pattens of belief, that we don`t realize how hard it becomes to think for ourselves. The stories in this book are very clearly told. May many people read it and may it open your heart and mind to the Good News! You`ll be glad you did!!

Love this book

Interesting thing that they didn’t learn about Jesus (Yeshua) from Rabbi but discovered from their own Bible search or from Messanic Jews
