You are always welcome to print out and use in your
Sunday school teachings my "Line upon Line" Hebraic roots Teaching
series. I taught these lessons over a three year period during the
1990's at some local Bible study fellowships. I taught 96 lessons in
all but I have only had time to put the first 22 on the Internet.
They are located at:

Dear Jim,
I have a booklet I have developed over the years that is basically my
Sunday School notes. It is comprised of 12 lessons and is a very basic
introduction to Jewish Roots. It is called "The Jewish Roots of
Christianity". You can order the booklet from me or through HaY'Did
Learning Center. You can contact them at: shalom@haydid.org
The cost is $3.50 ea. + S&H if you are not a member of HaY'Did or $3.00ea.
+S&H for members. S&H is usually $1.50ea.
Shalom, Randy Felton

Are you looking for adult Sunday School or children's? The best adult
Sunday School primer that is out there is OUR FATHER ABRAHAM by Dr.
Marvin Wilson which can be ordered from any Christian bookstore. I
really encourage you to go to your area Christian bookstore to order
as many books as possible. These bookstore owners need to know what
their area people want in books. This book has been around for a LONG
time and is divided into 15 chapters with discussion questions at the
end of each chapter. Our ministry also is the only source for OUR
FATHER ABRAHAM'S STUDY GUIDE. You can download it off our website free
(about 100 pages of printing) or order for $8/$9 from our catalog. If
you don't know what the book is about, then the study guide is really
a good way of examining the book. We've recently gone through a major
revision and added three more chapters to our original study guide,
and changed the format, too. So if you have an old copy, then you may
want to examine the online version. Homeschoolers and youth enjoy this
book, too. If you are talking about children's Sunday School
materials, then that is an area that is sorely lacking out there. I
would encourage everyone to really pray this area into existence. The
best thing to teach children would be the festivals. Why not? At
school their curriculum revolves around the worldly holidays, and if
we are teaching children about God, why not show them Messiah in God's
festivals? Eddie's book THE SEVEN FESTIVALS OF THE MESSIAH is THE
BEST one out there for the teacher's to study and then adapt. Eddie
and I have talked about the need for children's festival materials for
a long time. Why not go to the public library and check out some
picture books on Passover to share with your Sunday School class, and
start teaching on the many pictures of Messiah Yeshua that are found
in the feast? Let the children learn how to pick out pictures of
Messiah in the story! Show them how to even understand Moses as a
shepherd ---a picture of Messiah the Good Shepherd! Study about
shepherding from a Hebraic prespective.
If you go to our website you will find an address section that lists
publishers of Jewish materials. Call or write these publishers and you
will receive FREE catalogs full of good chidren's materials. There
are lots of wonderful FREE articles on our website that can be adapted
by anyone to share. One pastor told me that he had printed off 700
pages from our website! Help yourself! That's what it is there for!
But could you take a minute to write a simple thank you note for what
you are taking? Its a small thing, that keeps us going, okay? We're
all volunteers---Eddie included! So if you enjoy the materials, then
why not say "thank you!?" This is an amazing association of teaching
ministries, okay? Instead of each ministry being out for its own
material gain and not wanting you to listen to anyone else, within our
association we are always saying, "Have you read Marv Wilson's OUR
FATHER ABRAHAM or Doug Wheeler's THE LAW OF THE TZIT-TZIT, or Randy
Felton's JEWISH ROOTS OF CHRISTIANITY or Ron Moseley's SPIRIT OF THE
LAW?" We've all agreed to work together as a body---without seeking
fame and glory for an individual!
So, do us one more favor? PRAY FOR ALL OF US! God is moving
mightily to teach and we are all learning some wonderful things, but
we need your prayers!
Shalom,

We are in a small fellowship studying The Torah with the help of a
publication put out by First Fruits of Zion. It follows the Torah and
Haftorah readings, and really helps us a lot. I read the passages
through with my children during the week, we then read the study and
answer all the questions. When we gather, the leader asks each
question, and all have an opportunity to share. It works very well for
us, and those who have more understanding can explain to the rest of
us who are still trying to replace old ideas with more scriptural
ones. My husband can take it to work to read and study, so we all stay
together. We also have the calendar put out by Lederer Ministries that
has the Brit Chadasha (Renewed Covenant) portion, which we also read.
We also print all the posts from this newsgroup and put them in files
according to topic (Second Temple Period, etc.) and then we use these
on Sabbath. We bought a software program called Paths Through
Jerusalem which is wonderful for seeing Jerusalem and learning the
history. We read about something, then take one of the tours. This way
even my 5 year old can participate, he probably gets a little
confused, but he knows an awful lot about the Bible and it's customs,
so he can pay a lot more attention during our study. There are certain
characters that take you on a tour, King David, Herod, etc. It has
really helped our study. Another of our favorites studies is to watch
That The World May Know by Ray Van der Laan and Focus on the Family. I
can't count how many times we have watched this series as a family,
and it still brings me new understanding and clarification. MY husband
plans to buy this series to show to friends who are interested in what
we are learning. Since he is very shy, this is a great opportunity for
him share. My father, who has never been interested in what we
believe, went out and bought himself a Bible after seeing this series
during one of our visits. I can't wait till I can get his computer
program! Hope this helps a little!

P.S. I also have a question. I am ready to buy my daughter a computer
program on Hebrew. She has been studying and learning Hebrew on her
own for the past two years, and has grammar type questions I can't
help with. We are not living close to anyone that we know of that
knows Hebrew. What program do you recommend?
