Was Paul the inventor of Christianity? Did he leave Judaism to form the doctrines of a new religion? Derek Leman writes from a Messianic Jewish perspective, presenting Paul as a Torah-faithful follower of the Jewish Messiah. Yet Paul was called to the non-Jewish peoples to bring the good news of Yeshua (Jesus). Leman explains Paul's practice in Acts, his distinction between Jewish and Gentile relationship to Torah, and how his letters reflect the way of life he taught non-Jews in Christ.

Picture a baby trying to walk. Shaky and unsteady, this little one takes tiny steps to avoid falling and getting hurt. If a new believer doesn't take baby steps, he or she is also likely to stumble while growing up. Derek Leman, staff worker with Light of Messiah Ministries and a consultant on Jewish evangelism to the Georgia Baptist Convention, with a B.A. from Moody Bible Institute and a Masters from Emory University, has written an excellent book to help a new believer know how to take the beginning steps in the spiritual life. Drawing on many years of experience working with new believers, Leman reviews the basics of beginning a walk with the Lord. "Homework" and review questions provide focus for the "baby" believer, especially when used in conjunction with a mentor, which is highly recommended by the author. Walking with Yeshua, written primarily to help new Jewish believers start their walk with the Messiah, will help any believer to grow in the Lord.
