Here are some books written by our Director, Dr. Stuart Dauermann.

Eat This Book!

“What does it mean to be a Jewish disciple of Yeshua? Where does one begin? Rabbi Dauermann answers these questions in highly practical, gastronomical, and inspiring ways. It is a must-read for all Jewish people who want to start the journey of following Israel’s Messiah on the right foot, and for members of the tribe who have been walking this walk for a while and need a refresher, and food for thought. Eat This Book! is a go-to resource on Messianic Jewish discipleship and spiritual formation!”
David Rudolph, PhD
Director of Messianic Jewish Studies
The King’s University

“Rabbi Stuart Dauermann has done it again. Eat This Book! is a creative, erudite, and often humorous guide for discipleship that is ‘user-friendly and Judaism-positive.’ It is a contribution that has been missing and desperately needed, a helpful curriculum primarily for discipling Jews as Jews. It will also benefit anyone from any background who wants to grow and mature spiritually in their faith. I highly recommend this work and look forward to using it within my own congregation.”
Rabbi Joshua Brumbach
President, Messianic Jewish Rabbinical Council
and Senior Rabbi of Congregation Simchat Yisrael, West Haven, CT

“This is an amazing book, a lovely book, so well expressed.  It is an engaging book and will benefit all who seek to apply it.”
Daniel Juster, ThD, of Restoration from Zion,
First President and General Secretary of the UMJC

“Rabbi Dauermann has invited us to the banquet table for a sumptuous feast, from the goblet of prayer to a parting glezel tei. Seasoned with Jewish background for a deeper understanding, it is not an abstract work of theological speculation, but rather a practical menu that liberally employs a food metaphor motif. To miss out on this repast is to miss a five-star delight that will enrich your palate and reignite your taste buds for the spiritual fête ahead. The proof of the pudding is in the reading. Definitely, Eat This Book!”
Rabbi Elliot Klayman, JD
Past President, Union of Messianic Jewish Congregations;
Instructor, Messianic Jewish Theological Institute; Executive Director, Messianic Literature Outreach

“How can we weave discipleship to Rabbi Yeshua into the fabric of our lives? Rabbi Stuart Dauermann presents an organic approach to Messianic Jewish spirituality at home and around the table, with clear and compelling recipes guiding Jewish disciples of Yeshua and their families toward growth in prayer, Torah learning, Shabbat, and other core practices that make being a follower of Messiah a joy and a delight.”
Rabbi Yahnatan Lasko

Converging Destinies: Jews, Christians, and the Mission of God examines how the Jewish world and the Christian world have been accustomed to view each other and their responsibilities toward each other under the missio dei, the mission of God, that is, what God is up to in the world. The book calls for a recognition of God's foundational calling upon the Jews as home base of the people of God, and calls both the Jewish world and the church to adjust how they speak to and of each other, and listen to each other in view of their mutual accountability to God as agents of his purpose. In view of this accountability, we are called to stand in awe of God and his purpose, humbly vulnerable to what he would say to us, even through the lips of the other.

Keeping the Faith in Interfaith Relationships shows but one way among others that a Christian spouse and a Jewish one can both honor their convictions, while having a unified home. Not everyone will choose the path taken here, but all will find this artfully presented series of conversations real food for thought. Many interdating couples and intermarried people will find much to discuss in these pages.

Son of David: Healing the Vision of the Messianic Jewish Movement presents a biblical view of God's consummating purposes for the Jewish people. This monograph challenges the Messianic Jewish movement to "get with the program" rather than serving more trendy and derivative agendas. One of the core questions answered here is this: What would the gospel look like if it was good news for the Jews?

The Rabbi as a Surrogate Priest, Dr Dauermann's dissertation, compares the role of the rabbi as it has emerged in Jewish life to the roles performed by priests and Levites as found in biblical materials. Beginning with Abraham, viewed as a proto-priest, the dissertation examines the functions performed by Israel's priests and Levites within the context of Israel's call to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. The work traces the historical evolution of the rabbi's role and of the training of rabbis, and identifies sixteen functions formerly performed by priests and Levites which now describe what rabbis do. The book will come as a surprise to people who imagine the rabbi's role to be "unbliblical," and also as a help to those who seek to train leaders to see that a rabbi is not just a minister with switched labels.

The Jewish Advantage: What It Is and How to Make It Your Own provides a proven solution to the general subpar state of biblical illiteracy—even among the religiously committed.

Christians and Jews Together presents a biblical argument for the complementary roles Jews and Christians are meant to play in the outworking of God's purposes moving toward His great consummation. It is as if God has given Jews and Christians half of a treasure map: neither of them can find the treasure of God's consummation apart from the other. For Christians, this book asks and answers the question: What's greater than the great commission? Prepare to be informed, challenged, and intrigued.
