The below list is to assist one in getting to learn the foundational teachings of the faith from a variety of teachers. Please note that although some material is not from Messianic /Hebrew Roots labeled ministries, per se, they do contain sound Scripturally messages.

The below listing is not intended to be a blanket endorsement of any of the ministries listed below. Many appear to look for the perfect ministry. No one--person, minister, ministry, church--is perfect in knowledge or living their lives. Once you, an imperfect person, walk into a fellowship, that fellowship is no longer perfect. One person was "perfect' and they crucified Him.

Miracles  from Answered Prayers:  Finger of God by Tim Kelley, the Season of Our Joy Sukkot Festival Coordinator and leader of the Ami Yisrael fellowship in Texas.

Repentance  What is Real Repentance? Few can define what real repenatnce is from all of Scriptural definitions. Many omit I John 3;4. This is Lesson 9 of the former free Ambassador College Correspondence Course formerly offered by the now defunct Sabbath and Feast keeping Worldwide Church of God. For new believers in the faith it is important to know the meaning of repentance. The WCG and its subseuent break-off churches cherry-picked which of the "613" Torah instructions they wanted to keep.  Nevertheless  they offered fine publications, like this one, which effectively taught Scriptural subjects.

The "lost" Ten Tribes of Israel. Steve Collins has written five books on the “lost”ten tribes (which, by  the  way,were  never “lost”).  Four  books  comprise  a  series:  1) The  Origins  and Empire  of  Ancient  Israel, 2) Israel’s  Lost  Empires,  3) Parthia:  The  Ancient Forgotten  Superpower  and  its  Role  in  Bibilical  History, and  4) Israel’s  Tribes Today. His  stand  alone  first  book  is  a  summary  of the  four  book  series:   The  “Lost” Ten Tribes of Israel...found!                                                DISCLAIMER. The gospel message is one of repentance and belief in the gospel of the Kingdom of God and in God’s son, Yeshua (Jesus), as one’s personal Savior. The gospel is not the  identity  of  the  whereabouts  of  the  "lost" ten tribes today. Please note that the proper priority and emphasis of this is in order! With that being said, these books are highly controversial and contrary to the commonly accepted prophetic interpretations of the end time regarding the cidentity of the House of Israel and the House of Judah. In short, The State of Israel in the  Middle East is only part of a the greater House of Israel.

It is the restrainer that keeps the wheat from producing the fruit.  $

Conspiracy Against Divine Sexuality-It All Started In Eden
by Mike Mordalkhai Joseph
One of the most powerful human forces, 'responsible', at times, even for the demise of many 'high and mighty', is that 'lethal', passionate human force: Sex Drive. Be it men or women; practitioners of religion or atheists--all are affected positively or adversely by this most complex of all human drives. To some, it is 'the road to glory', to others, it is a nemesis. For those who ascribe to the Biblical narrative, these questions beg for clear answers: How was sex meant to be? Why was human sexuality given to the human race? Who 'invented' it and originally illuminated the first couple of its complexity? What was sex like in the Garden of Eden? Who threw 'the monkey wrench' into the wheel that propels this divinelyordained human sexuality and why? How did he do it? How can you entangle the 'mess' he created? Human sexuality, with its tempestuous, pleasurable and passionate streams of fire, should have been the roaring engine that propels us to all the lofty heights of our personal mountains. Yet for many, it is theabyss that seems to gather the shattered and disillusioned fragments of our grieving sexual lives. Brace yourself for enlightening answers. 430 pages, soft cover: $21.75 Electronic book: $5.95

"Sorry...!   There is No Afterlife!
None Goes to Heaven or Hell!  God Jesus Muhammad

by Mike Mordalkhai Joseph

According to Irans president, Ahmadinejad, the purpose of the revolution and nuclear Iran is to prepare for the imminent return of the Mahdi, the twelfth Imam. Hence Israel must be destroyed, the West must be subjugated, and the rest of the world must submit to the coming Mahdis Reign of peace on earth.

If the belief in an afterlife -- immediately after death -- is true, then both the Bible and the Quran should fully confirm it in plain words. but what if they, instead, contradict it? What if God, Jesus, and Muhammad are not the source of this doctrine? What if the doctrine of an afterlife immediately after death is a hoax? What if man has no immortal soul? In the pages of this book, the unbiased reader will discover the real story about the afterlife, the true destiny of humanity, the true location of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and its link to the afterlife.
