A mysterious figure called the "Messiah" is the central theme of the entire Bible. In this book that Messianic theme is traced from its announcement in the Old Testament through its development between the Testaments to its fulfillment in the New Testament. The book also examines how Jews and Christians have continued to debate this subject down until today. There are also some studies on fascinating related subjects like the location of the Temple and the ashes of the Red Heifer. While these chapters have been written from a Christian perspective; adequate attention has also been given to Jewish concerns. The Messiah was successively revealed; rejected and received. This book explains how and why that happened. "In this book; Will Varner has opened the Scripture to provide a readable; clarifying look at Jesus; the Messiah of Israel and the Savior of the world. Jesus once asked His disciples; "Who do men say that I am? (Mark 8:27). That is still the most urgent question - who is this Jesus? You will find the answer powerfully and convincingly provided in this outstanding book. John MacArthur; Grace Community Church; Sun Valley; CA and President of The Master's College

This book brings the life and experiences of the men of the 69th Pennsylvania to life through letters; after action reports; and other documents in a way that makes you feel as if you're there. The suffering and heroics endured by these men are honored by the effort put forth. I would absolutely recommend to anyone interested in expanding their understanding of this regiment; the experience of the Irish during the war; or the Civil War in general.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Union Heroes of Picketts ChargeBy General Phil SheridanAt the eye of the storm during Picketts Charge; only the 69thPennsylvania held behind the wall in front of the copse of trees. This is a long overdue treatment. The 69th Pennsylvaniawas ignored in the 19th century because of Irish prejudice.Ernsberger's extensive research into the personalities of the officers and men who were real heroes at Gettysburg is unmatched in any 20th century regimental history. Colonel O'Kane; Major James Duffy; and Captain John J. Devlin all come to life here. This book recaptures real men who volunteered in 1861 at 421 Walnut Street in Philadelphia and are unsung in any other Civil War book.
