This review is from: Growing Intellectually, Spiritually and Prophetically in the Hebrew Israelite Culture and Faith: A Guide for African Edenic Hebrews, Jews and Gentiles searching the Israelite Scriptures for Truth! (Paperback)

I found this book to be confusing regarding judaism and the study of Torah. I am an african american christian woman who honors the jewishness of Jesus and have come to follow the appointed feasts of God through the jewish calendar and I felt that this book was a bit racist. It smacked of the black panther party and the nation of Islam. It made me feel that I should separate myself from not only white society, but all of society. Perhaps the author did not mean to portray it this way, but his writing felt "militant". On page 202 the author speaks of relationships. He says and I quote" The American and Euro-gentile banning of polygany is just another example of the Satanic influence and system trying to prevent the rise of the Life-style of Torah, the Foundation of the Kingdom of Yah. They know the power, unity and strength of a sound Polygamous community, both financially, economically, and family wise". He goes on to say, "Also the banning of polygany is a racial/prejudice issue and also a total disrespect of other cultures, predominately african-asian cultures. This basically prevents black peoples of Africa from being able to come to AmeriKKKa to live because they would be denied entrance based on their Religious and cultural/ethnic background". I totally disagree with this man on this issue and a few other statements that he makes in this book. Also, there are many, many typographical errors in this book as shown by the example above (polygany vs. polygamy). There are many african american orthodox, conservative, reform and messianic jews here in America and abroad and I feel that this book does a disservice for an african american seeking to convert to judaism or trying to get a sense of history. Not only was I distracted by all the misspelled words, the author also introduced too many unknown research sources and his appendixes were less than satisfactory. It states in the beginning of the book that the author has taken the liberty to retranslate or transliterate verses and names where it was felt necessary to clarify more accurately the passage(s), locations or names of characters in the Scriptures. His taking liberty did not give me any positive enjoyment.
