Service From the Heart [Paperback]

Oklahoma B'nai Noah Society (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 29, 2007

This is the first book to combine prayers and customs for Biblical service to God for the descendants of Noah. Sections include Biblically based prayers, daily readings, wedding ceremony, funeral service, explanations of how to fulfill the commandments given to non-Jews, and more--with pages for notes and additions to make this book your own. Based on the covenant given to Noah and his descendants, this is not a new religion, but rather a return to the original faith of mankind as practiced by Noah, Melchizedek, and other non-Jewish Biblical figures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jewish prayers for those of us who aren't Jewish, September 17, 2009

By 

Migzilla "TMM" (Arizona) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Service From the Heart (Hardcover)

First of all, you should know that this book is definitely Jewish. It was written for non-Jews, but it's based on Jewish teaching and tradition. You'll find in there commentaries and prayers from many Jewish Rabbis. If you are not open to rabbinical teachings, this book isn't for you.

This prayer book was written for gentiles who believe in the God of Israel. According to Jewish belief, a gentile does not need to convert in order to be "saved" (borrowing the lingo from Christianity). Gentiles do not have to follow the 613 commands that were given to the nation of Israel. However, that doesn't mean that God has no expectations of gentiles.

This book was written for people who desire to draw closer to the God of Israel, without converting to Judaism.

Most of prayers are the same you'll find in any Jewish siddur. However, most of the phrases that apply solely to Jews have been either removed or reworded. If you plan on converting, I would recommend a traditional Jewish siddur.

This review is from: Service From the Heart (Paperback)

This book is not just a Prayer book it is much more than that, it provides a great deal of very good advice about our relationship with G-d as well as lots of other information and links to Noahide groups.

Published by The Oklahoma B'nai Noah Society based in Rose, Oklahoma USA, which also has a growing group of Noahides who gather together. This book is rabbinically approved, and well worth buying.

5.0 out of 5 stars A prayer book and more, November 10, 2008

By 

Steve Williamson (WV) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Service From the Heart (Hardcover)

In discussing prayer with a good friend, I outlined the way that I pray. He said that my manner of prayer was quite good, but I should get a prayer book to see how the righteous that have gone before prayed. Shortly after that discussion, Service From The Heart was released. It is the perfect guide book to teach the Noahide how to pray, giving guidelines and approved prayers for the Torah observant Gentile. But the book is much more than a prayer book, giving guidelines for proper living in the world today.
