At first glance, The Book of Mysteries” is daunting due to its size. It’s almost like an encyclopedia of Hebrew facts, history, customs, symbolism, etc. It contains explanations for a plethora of things written in the Bible, which open up your mind and heart to new and fabulous understanding and awareness. The author's explanations of the Hebrew traditions and the true meaning of words and customs, etc. add so much to what we can only partly understand when we read the Bible in English, having grown up in our American culture. It's amazing how much more the Bible comes alive when you have greater understanding of the symbolism, the history, and the culture. To a Jewish reader, it is also very convincing that Jesus is the Messiah. 

Don’t be put off because of its size. “The Book of Mysteries” can be read as a daily devotional, reading just one of the 365 entries or mysteries each day for a year. It can also be read as any book, although I suggest taking it somewhat slow to be able to digest all the information. I also suggest marking ot taking note of a few of the revelations that are especially meaningful to you, because you won’t be able to absorb and remember everything.
