ALIYAH
I have been walking through a time of learning more about our Jewish roots. What an exciting walk this has been ...... and IS! I am far from finished and enjoying every minute of it.
"Aliyah" is the history of God calling forth His people from the various parts of the world where He had scattered them due to their disobedience. This could not, and did not, occur until after Israel became a nation in 1948. It started then and is continuing unto this day.
The thing that moved me the most about reading this book was I came to realize the love God, the Father, has for the LAND itself. The actual, physical land. Because God made man from the dust of the earth that very dust/land is most precious to HIM. I have always understood that the land belonged to the Jewish people, because God had given it to them, but I did not understand, until reading this book, how important it was to God to have his creation back on THIS very soil.
If you are interested in our Jewish roots I would highly recommend this book.

you've been reading a lot of interesting books lately. thanks for sharing your thoughts on each one with us. even if a book doesn't appeal to me, i enjoy hearing how a book has touched someone.
It sounds very interesting. I think I need to start making a list of books, so I don't forget.
Israel is a fascinating topic. I spent quite a bit of time on it in my study in the book of Romans lately. Glad you enjoyed it.
This book looks like a good starting point for anyone interested in their Jewish roots. I AM interested. Thank you for the referral, Susan.-Kathy
Susan, that is a very interesting piece of wisdom, I have never looked at God's love in that way. We truly try to put Him in our own little box until someone else brings him out!! Thanks a bunch
This looks good! I'm reading a couple of things right now, but, this looks like a good one to check out. I loved your post about 9/11. I would have loved to hear the trumpets blow! :)
I too have a great love and respect for the jewish people! Looks like a really good book!
