A Great Holiday Gift:
​​​​​​​The Light From Zion

 
Today there are many people among the nations of the world who are drawn to the Jewish people and desire the sweetness of the Torah and its teachings. It has been difficult for non-Jewish people to find such teachings until now.

We are delighted to announce this NEW BOOK from Root Source Press, published in Jerusalem in cooperation with Gefen Publishing and Olive Tree Press of Norway.

Order this book at www.lightzion.com 
 

Our Webinars were a Great Success!

 

You might have been following Bob O'Dell's series about Donald Trump's personality on Breaking Israel News. 

We were delighted to host an EXCLUSIVE webinar explaining the background of Bob's perspective, one that is actually over a decade in the making!


In this exciting, first-ever presentation from Root Source, our very own Bob O'Dell explained what the Bible can teach us about people, and help us unlock the mystery of Donald Trump.  

Bob is a long-time student of people and of personalities in the Bible. 

We also gave an update about our Campus Campaign.

Sign up for the Root Source Webinars Announcements list, and get a link to the playback recording of the webinar as soon as it is ready.

Touring with Bob:
​​​​​​​The Magdala Synagogue

 
 

Magdala is a town north of Tiberias on the Sea of Galilee.


This brief video gives a description of a Synagogue that was active in the second temple period and was discovered in 2009. It was almost certainly visited by Jesus.



 

Understanding Trump:
​​​​​​​Part 4 – One Of A Kind?

 
Once again, Breaking Israel News is host to another innovative op ed by Bob O’Dell!

The three articles in this series suggested the following insights about Trump:

First, Trump, at heart, is a people person: the ultimate populist.


Second, Trump uses words like paint: captivating us with the colors, but we must remember that the picture he paints can change at any moment.


Third, Trump wants to be liked and he has already set his mind towards winning the popular vote four years from now.


This fourth article looks at two leaders of the past who bear great similarities to Trump: Huey Long of Louisiana, and Cyrus the Great of Persia. The first of these has been discussed in the secular media, and the second has been discussed in the Christian media.

"Todah to all your teachers whom God is using as lights to the world"
 
Jan attended our webinar on Thursday. See the lovely comment she left us:

Thank you so much-for this and for all your efforts in revealing the truth of God. His wisdom brings peace and joy to all.  

Todah to all your teachers whom God is using as lights to the world.  Personally, I ask for eyes to see and ears to hear that all may be passed on to others-a sweet aroma.

Jan

Grace and Peace
