The Birthing of a Jewish Heart: A Gentile Christian Discovers the Roots of Her Faith

Having accepted Jesus Christ early, Ann Ivey should have been a contented Christian throughout her life. Mainstream church, however, soon cause her to question popular Christian practices. Thus, a weary heart pushed Ann to study the Bible herself. Among the first things she learned is that no matter how Christians may believe, the Jewish people will always be at the center of God’s plan of salvation. As she would discover, even Jesus Christ himself lived and died a Jew to the end. Christians would do well to consider the story of Ruth. Although a Gentile, she would eventually become a part of the Jewish history, even becoming the great grandmother of King David and the ancestress of Jesus Christ himself.
