Betrayed!

This was so engaging! I couldn’t put it down. Hearing from a Jewish man whose daughter became a believer in the Messiah was heart throbbing. This book will be used as a reference going forward as he & his wife both became believers in the Messiah. The bible references are so helpful!

Great book! Loved it!

Because of what the Bible says in Is.6:9, Ps.69:23 Mt.13:10-16, Mk4:10-12, Lu.8:9-10, Jn.12:37-41, Acts 28:24-28, Rom.11:7-8, Pro.20:12, Jude 1:4, and 1Pet.2:8 I have a great desire to see God remove the blindness from His people and draw them to Jesus. This book is simply a wonderful - and very thorough - explanation of not only what a Jewish person feels when God gives them faith but also the struggles and misconceptions that those who love them face in accepting that he or she has become a Hebrew Christian. As I read it I knew I could not just put it on my bookshelf, I had to find someone to give it to. The Lord provided a former Yeshiva student in Israel, praise God!

Stan Telchin give a most a interesting view of how Jew regard Gentiles, his struggles coming to the right understanding of who is the Messiah is. Was most interesting, and his honesty with himself when confronted with the truth. I found the reaction of other Jews when they saw that he had found the Messiah was surprising. So much prejudice Against belief in him is surprising since Jesus and the founders of the Christian church were all Jewish. Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles says there is a veil over their minds when they rea the scriptures, but when they turn to the Lord the veil will be taken away. I believe his hope for Israel as a people is good, but he does not appear to believe that the Christian Church made up of Jews and Gentiles is the Israel of God Gal 3 :29; Rom 9:7,8.but I might be wrong about him. Overall I really enjoyed the book, and others who have read it did too.

Years ago, someone recommended that I read Betrayed. My husband’s family is Jewish, so this person assumed I would be interested in the author’s testimony. Well, they were right. After hearing the author, Stan Telchin, on a radio program, I was hooked. I could not wait to discover what drove this Jewish man to embrace Jesus as his Messiah. I was captivated as I read that when he learned his college age daughter had become a Christian, he was determined to disprove the New Testament. Through much prayer, study and passion for truth, Stan realized that he needed to turn his life over to Jesus in repentance and faith. His story is so engaging that it is hard to put down. He includes a great list of fulfilled Messianic prophecy in the back of the book. I have since learned that his youngest daughter, Ann, makes claims contrary to Telchin’s testimony. She says they are not the happy family portrayed in the book. Jesus said in Matthew 10:34-36 that houses would divide over him, so it certainly comes as no surprise that the Telchin family members are not all on the same page concerning the gospel.

As a Gentile believer wanting to know more about the journey of the Jewish people in coming to understand who Jesus truly is, The Messiah and Son of God, this book is an excellent resource for me! I love the way the author shares how he searched God with all his mind, and yet it is in his heart that God’s Spirit moved and ultimately called him to faith.

This is a great book describing the life and mindset of a devout Jew on a journey to disprove and win his daughter back to Judiasm and discovered the truth of the Messiah along the way! This was incredibly eye opening for me. I have a love for the Jewish community and have supported them for many years. I am currently reading his second book, Abandoned, and hoping it continues to open my eyes to the needs of the Jewish nation and how I can help to spread the truth of the Messiah with them.

Highly recommended if one wants to gain insight on what a Jewish has tongo through in order to follow JESUS. ❤️

Great book to give to any Jewish person seeking the truth about who Jesus is to Jewish people, non threatening and truthful

I read this book first many years ago and was pleased to be able to find it again in eBook format. It is an interesting read, but I would have liked a little more explanation of the author’s theology.

Excellent book. Loved the insight and emotions.

Stan Telchin provides a fascinating insite into the Jewish attitude toward Christians. He provides a deeper understanding of the split between Jewish believers and gentile Christians in the early church. Everyone who is interested in seeing a reconciliation between Jews and Christians should read this book.
