Sid Roth

The synopsis of this book drew me in be abuse I was eager to hear the stories of people who experienced "supernatural revelation". As someone seeking a closer relationship with God, I was looking forward to hearing the stories of those who have witnessed ultimate reality.

What I found were 10 stories that were so similar in nature that I found the book not inspirational, and the experiences of the individuals made the book a little drab, where I expected to be energized by their stories.

Each show more individual sought the truth through assorted New Age spiritual practices. They all either found the experience empty or found that their contact with the supernatural realm was not of God. In time, they prayed/meditated for the real truth and experienced a brief supernatural encounter with Jesus that turned their lives around.

Im happy that these individuals have grown in their walk with God but I didn't find much inspiration in reading their stories. They all indicate that similar experiences are possible to anyone who sincere I their faith. I'm sure many, many people are just as sincere as they but don't have similar experiences. The book left me a little skeptical. show less

Interesting book - ten accounts of Jews who've come to believe Jesus was the Messiah. The end was curious - Sid Roth claims everyone, including Christians, should be Messianic Jews if they want to get to heaven. I did find the individual accounts inspiring though.
