From Jerusalem to Rome by Bob Fishman

    In this new series, From Jerusalem to Rome: A Personal Exodus, Bob Fishman shares the story of his conversion from Judaism to Christianity. Having been raised in a non-religious Jewish family, Bob began to question his childhood beliefs in his late teens. In the Navy, Bob's dealings with a "born-again" Christian prompted him to seriously study the Old Testament with the explicit intent to prove that Jesus was not the Messiah. Instead, he gradually began to accept Christ as his Savior and Lord. This incredible spiritual odyssey led him to be baptized as a Pentecostal Christian and eventually become active in non-denominational, and often anti-Catholic, fundamentalist churches.

    Yet his personal pilgrimage of faith did not stop here. As Bob intensified his bible study he also rediscovered his Jewish roots. Studying under an Orthodox Rabbi and attending the Kabbalah Institute in Los Angeles, CA, he uncovered beautiful, mystical things about his holy heritage that he had never known before. He also began to read the writings of St. Francis of Assisi and St. John of the Cross, who introduced Bob to authentic Catholicism. Ultimately, through much prayer and conversations with Catholic apologist Vic Cleaveau, Bob was received into the Church in just six short months! He has since founded a Catholic lay ministry, "The Torah of Christ", to teach others to understand and defend the Gospel from the perspective of its Jewish roots.

   Mr. Fishman's personal and often humorous presentations may challenge some long-standing beliefs by introducing you to the rich and undeniably Jewish roots of Roman Catholicism. You'll soon discover in depth how Jesus' life, death and resurrection fulfilled the Old Covenant as you begin to view the Catholic Faith in a whole new way. Prepare to spark your faith to break down barriers and heal divisions within the People of God. Bob Fishman's informative instructions and inspiring insights promise a more "complete Christianity" and will help you discover new and effective ways to witness to our Jewish brothers and sisters by sharing with them the light of Christ.
