Redeemed Israel by Batya Ruth Wootten

Shalom All:
Thanks to your many votes and helpful comments, Angus and I have made a decision about my new book title.

By a clear margin the winning title was Israel: Redeemed Reunited and Restored. Second place went to Your Destiny in Messiah: Israel Redeemed, Reunited, Restored.

However...

My friend Ran commented that Israel: Redeemed Reunited and Restored did not “readily roll off the tongue.” So we played with the combination of words and came up with Redeemed Israel – Reunited and Restored.

One reason Angus and I like this word order is that the book can easily be referred to as “Redeemed Israel” in conversation, and with titles, shorter is always better.

Because so many of you liked the words, “Your Destiny in Messiah,” I tried to work them in by using a water mark with the words repeated over and over on the cover. However, John Diffenderfer created a beautiful cover for us and my attempts to fix things were frankly ruining it. His insightful design makes a bold, clean statement in fresh blue and white. As John says, it stands out “amid the sea of dark covers” we usually find in books stores. So to solve the problem we instead made the statement in the back cover text, which now reads:

Your destiny in Messiah Yeshua is forever linked to Israel. He preached the gospel of its kingdom. His disciples spoke of the restoration of David’s fallen house – a restoration that includes all who sojourn with Israel.

Only when we understand about “both the houses of Israel” (Isaiah 8:14) can we truly understand our Redeemer’s mission. Only when we know Him can we know who Israel really is; for He is salvation – Yeshua – the epitome of all that it means to be “Israel.” When we see Him as the Lion of Judah, His Israelite Kingdom also comes into vivid focus.

The liberating truths found in this book are breathing new life into Israel’s two houses. Multiplied thousands are seeing the truth about Judah and Ephraim in Scripture, as well as Israel’s coming reunion and full restoration. They are being inspired as they catch glimpses of her coming glory.

Written in a style that reduces deep theology to simple faith, this solidly scriptural book clarifies the truth about Israel and the Church. It explains the Romans 11 mystery of the “fullness of the Gentiles,” and it reveals the Father’s ultimate plan for all Israel.

If you feel drawn to your Hebraic roots, have an unexplainable love for the Jewish people, feel an urge to celebrate the feasts of Israel, or just want to understand “Israel,” this book is for you. The truths it unveils will enrich your relationship with the Holy One of Israel. The revelations it unfolds are leading both Jewish and non-Jewish Believers, Judah and Ephraim, back to the ancient faith of their forefathers.

Engaging and entertaining, this life-changing book brings hope and healing. Be refreshed and renewed as you read its revolutionary pages; enjoy them as they uncover your true destiny in Messiah Yeshua.

I want to sincerely thank all of you who contacted us about the book. It truly encouraged us to hear from so many of you (I still need to answer many of your kind notes). Angus will separately share with you some of his thoughts about distributing the book.

Blessings on you and yours,
Batya
