After about 50 years in the faith, I have noticed that many in the Hebrew Roots Awakening are not aware of the foundational teachings of the faith. I have placed the below list together to assist you in getting to learn the basics. 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.

Nevertheless they offered fine publications, like this one, which effectively taught Scriptural subjects.

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

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?
