Shalom Aleikhem
As a Jewish woman and a Believer in the Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ, grown through nearly seventy decades of changing times and accepted world values I have never lacked for anything
I truly needed when I depended on the Risen Christ. It was only when my line of sight shifted to the size of the waves, like
Peter, that I began to sink. I think now, that Jesus wasn't waiting for him to cry out for help instinctively, I think Jesus'
hand was already reaching for him!
We were rejected at birth for being the wrong
gender. and I was raised by a Christian man well able to take care of himself in the violent world around us, without losing
sight of who he was in Christ's promise and sacrifice. When I was still a little girl, unable to speak clearly and embarrassed
by an adult's full attention, the Daddy who raised me, a former hellion turned Quaker, told me in a trembling voice that he
believed GOD had spoken to him. That the reoccurring dream I kept trying to describe in which I was a little girl growing
up Jewish with the LORD as a loving old brother would one day become a book and that I would get to glimpse it going around
the world. That when I was gone, it would become a worldwide phenomenon and touch thousands of lives for the good-or their
eternal shame. Naturally, I was intimidated. But when I began to write the book at 62, it changed my life. I have
seen it reach out on the World Wide Web into many, many countries. I trust the rest will also become reality if I can but
remain a good ambassador to the sweet truth I was permitted to glimpse.
