Product Description
by Lisa M. Cummins (Author), James T. Cummins (Author)
This "workbook-style" textbook is for people who have completed Messiah's Alphabet Book 1 (which teaches the Hebrew alphabet) -- or for those who already have a solid understanding of how to pronounce and write the letters and vowels of the Hebrew Alphabet -- and who are now ready to build a Biblical Hebrew vocabulary. Basic Hebrew grammar is taught on topics such as the definite article "the", the conjunction "and," plural nouns, adjectives and possessives. Guided readings of short scripture passages are included throughout. Fun, simple exercises with all answers are provided. Puzzles, riddles and tear-out "flashcard" pages are included. Cartoons are sprinkled throughout the text to create a lighthearted, friendly approach. Suitable for self-study or group study. Emphasis on honoring Yeshua (Jesus) as Messiah. Suitable for Messianic congregations and churches alike. Recommended for "young adult readers" and older (ages 14 and up) for self-study purposes, but could also be used as a practice workbook for even younger students (ages 12-13) with assistance from an adult instructor. Free audio mp3 files (providing pronunciation of each vocabulary word in the book) are available online.
Author Biography
Jim Cummins has served as teacher, pastor, evangelist and ministry planter in a variety of denominational and non-denominational settings for more than 35 years. For at least 20 of those years, Jim has been used by the Lord to plant and lead Messianic congregations - places where Jews and non-Jews who believe in Yeshua (Jesus) as Messiah and Savior worship and serve the Lord together. Throughout his years in ministry, Jim has taught Biblical Hebrew and Greek to small groups. This teaching experience determined the content and approach of this book. Lisa Cummins' ten years of experience in middle, high school and community college teaching inspired this book's friendly, workbook-style format, which she designed and typeset. She has served in both traditional Christian and Messianic settings for more than 21 years.
