5.0 out of 5 stars If you're looking for answers, January 22, 2004

This review is from: The Rainbow Covenant: Torah and the Seven Universal Laws (Hardcover)

The Rainbow Covenant by Attorney Michael Dallen is one of those books that once you've picked it up you just can't put it down until you've devoured every word. He informs the reader that the Ten Commandments were never intended for the non-Jew. However, there is a standard for all of us. In ancient times it was known as the Seven Laws for the Children of Noah.

If you're looking for answers, you absolutely must start with the Rainbow Covenant. Even if I didn't acknowledge the existence of a G-d, I'd have still recognized quickly that the contents of this book were extremely beneficial. The first chapter alone was so powerful that it sent a shock wave through me that could only be described as the most intense spiritual arousal that I personally have experienced. It was as though the Torah Laws were standing naked before me that I might witness their incredible brilliance and beauty.

Finally, someone is ready to share with us what the G-d of Israel expects of the non-Jew. Author Michael Dallen has made it easier then ever to understand. Every page is filled with wisdom and a genuine concern for all humanity.

I have read The rainbow covenant by Dallen , it is an really an excellent work by a Genius.The whole material presented in a simple and effective for anybody to understand and follow the Covenant.

The greatness of the book lies in the Authors honesty with the facts - Nothing has been changed,twisted or mutialated. This makes this books a wonderful for reading - while travessing thru the Truth. The more you go in depth and more you are involved in it.It is an wonderful experience.

The Rainbow Covenant ultimately restores the proper mental, spiritual attitude that all important for man to connect with God.

A must read for everybody whether Jew or Gentiles. It is an experience worth going through the The Rainbow covenant.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful, timely book, September 13, 2004

This review is from: The Rainbow Covenant: Torah and the Seven Universal Laws (Hardcover)

What does our Creator require of the Children of Noah? 'The Rainbow Covenant' speaks to the heart of every human being. As an observant Jew, I thought I knew this subject, but I was amazed at the complexity of the details of these seven essential universal principals. Presented in a very readable, engaging book, there is a flow from one to the other, bringing a richness of the scope of each one. For instance, the author brings a concept that the negative commandments cannot be truly fulfilled without doing the opposite--the positive: the opposite of blaspheming Gd, is to sanctify His Name. With the numerous pages of references notes, this book can be studied time and again, on ever deeper levels. Of the books on this subject, this is the best I have read. Every so often a book comes into our world from Heaven; 'The Rainbow Covenant' is one of the these.
