THE DAY IS COMING: a book of Faith Kindle Edition

by Shlomo Kalo (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

Many books have been written about the three years of Jesus’s ministry in the land of Israel, but few stand in comparison with this account.

Spiritual thinker and Nobel Prize candidate Shlomo Kalo presents a moving, Gospel-based look at that fateful time and events, telling of the experiences of Jesus from a unique, profound, and painful Jewish point of view.

The Day is Coming stands out in:

• A vivid, captivating writing style that unfolds the events and their meaning with great clarity and interest.

• The author’s Jewish perspective is the same that was shared at the time by Jesus and the people around him.

• The unique interpretation to events such as Jesus crucifixion and mainly to the verse that has prompted confusion for centuries among Christians: “Eli, Eli, why have you forsaken me?”

Seldom does the Christian publishing world take notice and embrace a book about Jesus that was written by an unconverted Jew. The Day is Coming was published by Christian publishers in ten countries, moving people deeply, at times to tears, and adding to their understanding and their faith.

".[This book] opens for the reader who seeks God a path to mature thoughts and meditation. May this book open this way before many!"Msgr. Dr. Richard Mathes, Rector, Colegio Teutonico, Rome.

"All in all reading of this portrait of God made human in Jesus has moved me very deeply, and I think will move very deeply many other readers. Prof. J Martin-Moreno, SJ, Pontifical Biblical Institiute, Jerusalem.

Editorial Reviews

Review

A fascinating book fell into my hands recently: First I browsed through the book, then I went deeply into reading, then it grabbed me and in the end, before of my mind's eye, rose with intense vitality that same Jesus of Nazareth, with irresistable power of influence... Kalo's words come from a deep Jewish understanding, from the heart of Psalms' hymns... [This book] opens for the reader who seeks God a path to mature thoughts and meditation. May this book open this way before many! Msgr. Dr. Richard Mathes, Rector, Colegio Teutonico, Rome.
Shlomo Kalo's book can be like shock therapy for those who are used to it, those who have received a small dose of the Gospel that has rendered them immune and insensitive to all its power... and its invitation to accept the salvation that God offers now, before it is too late.
 All in all reading of this portrait of God made human in Jesus has moved me very deeply, and I think will move very deeply many other readers. Prof. J Martin-Moreno, SJ, Pontifical Biblical Institiute, Jerusalem
About The King Whose Name is Love: Shlomo Kalo's tales of faith, rooted in some of the Gospel parables, are highly imaginative pieces of writing. The eight delightful stories show how love can transform common human attitudes. They contain profound religious insights, simply expressed. The way in which they pick up, but then expand and move on from the parables, makes them memorable expositions of love's meaning. Rev. Canon Hugh Wybrew, Vicar, Oxford UK
About The Chosen: I read this master-piece just as slowly as I could, hoping I would never finish it. The book which is based on the Biblical book of Daniel deals with love: A love of a human being to another human being, of a man to a woman and mainly, with the love of God who is Love. The truth that Kalo describes touches the soul, fills up the heart and sheds light upon the meaning of existence, along with sorrow - for those who have not been acquainted with it yet. Dr. Yimna galore, Maariv newpaper, Israel
About The Trousers Parables for the 21st Century: These are stories of a true believer. They do reach as parables beyond themselves to suggest a whole approach to life. Prof. Gregory Carlson, S.J, Creighton University.

From the Inside Flap

(Text on back-cover of the original Hebrew edition:)A book may excite,shock, move and nevertheless fade away with time and be forgotten."The Day Is Coming" will excite, shock, challenge, shakeup and will not fade away with time and will not be forgotten. The reader will return to it and read it with ever growing interest and deep satisfaction, with anger perhaps or embarrassment, guilt feelings, shame or thankfulness.The events that are described in "The Day Is Coming" from an exceptional angle, will inevitably leave their imprint on the reader leading him to conscious soul-searching.The book is taken in in a single breath.

Kalo was born in 1928 in Sofia, Bulgaria. He joined the anti-Fascist underground before reaching his teens and wound up in a concentration camp at the age of 15. After studying medicine and working as a journalist in Prague, and training as a pilot for Mahal, he immigrated to Israel in 1949. He was awarded MSc in microbiology from Tel Aviv University in 1958.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the most powerful presentation of the Gospel.
Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2018
Verified Purchase
This presentation of the Gospel is so crystal-clear, so engaging, so griping, when reading, it comes alive to the eyes with all the powers at work and it penetrates the heart instantly.
The Gospel is simple with these clear descriptions of the powers and principalities in the scene and it clearly shows how the encounter with pure Love and compassion fundamentally affects each and every person, from the time Love walked on this earth in flesh almost 2000 years ago and until today and how anyone who is open to receive it would never turn back from it.
The story of the Gospel is not just something that happened, it is our story, it determines our destiny and the greatness of this presentation is that it clearly knits it together.
Every word in this book beams with adoration and love.
It is the most powerful presentation of the Gospel that I have ever read and in that, probably the most powerful book I have ever read and I recommend reading this book now and again for the sake of clarity of the greatest and most fundamental message that was ever given to humanity.

Technology makes it possible for us to create today a hologram of a deceased person of whom we have photos and videos. When you look at such a hologram you imagine that there is a living, breathing person before your eyes, and you get every nuance in his behavior and each characteristic of his personality.
By presenting a perfect hologram of Jesus of Nazareth this book has made the impossible possible. When you read the book it seems that Jesus arises before you eyes, becomes alive and you can feel His spirit, His essence and the purity seen in His eyes, radiated from every move of His body and from each sentence that His mouth issues.
Among the heaps of books, interpretations and researches that see the physical aspects of the subject, this book is a very rare treasure, since it penetrates the external layer of events, shows their true core and brings back to these events their true meaning.
Warmly recommended!

“What if God was one of us...”
God, the all mighty, the infinity, the absolute, the eternal, love in person became one of us, walked among us, loved us and called us to come to him, to be loved by him and to receive eternal life and joy. But most of us rejected him...till the bitter end.
This book describes from a very special point of view the events that became the corner stone of Christianity and actually the corner stone of humanity to those that their hearts been touched by the grace of the love of God.
There are no words to express the spirit that this book obtain. You have to read it by yourself. To read it with an open heart and open spirit. The day is coming, is coming soon. 💙

5.0 out of 5 stars The true son of God
Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2018
Verified Purchase
Upon first reading this book i was deeply moved and almost trembled. Brought up as Jews we are often captives of set of prejudices and misconceptions regarding Jesus and Christianity. Those who regard themselves as Christians are often prisoners of their own dogmas. This book, in my mind, cast away all these ideas. I honestly believe that this book, more than any other book of its kind, most accurately tells us what had really happened during this dramatic period, giving us the closest possible portrait of the real son of God who's name is love. Personally I find it almost impossible not to be captivated and deeply touched by this unearthly, and at the same time very human, figure. No doubt in my mind, you just can’t ignore this.

5.0 out of 5 stars The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2018

I finally understand the meaning of the quote above. For me this book brought history to life and the Bible to life. Reading it I could picture the events and the people, as if watching a movie. It reminded me of Franco Zefirelli's masterpiece "Jesus of Nazareth". It is so powerful. Parts of the book are extremely moving: the old synagogue in Nazareth, the story of the monk Anastasos, the last walk on Via Dolorosa. The contrasts that were then are the contrasts that exist today: ignorance-wisdom, indifference-self sacrifice, brutality-love. But the author gives hope. A desire to become a better person awakens in the reader. The world can be a better place. This is a lyrical book that I want to read again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars interesting, deep inspiring. A very well written book about Jesus
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2019
Verified Purchase
Reading this book was an interesting and a refreshing experience. I esprcially recommend it because of the author's unique and profound point of view- his jewish one, though not the routine scholarly one nor the negaive/ignoring one, we could have expected. Indeed Jesus Christ lived as a jew and preached almost exclusively to Jews, so the insights the author shares with us, can deepen the understanding into Christ's life and teaching. Moreover - although a translation the language is still inspiring and sweeping. I am glad I was introduced to this book, and I highly recommend on reading it.

after nearly 2000 years in exile, the unbelieble happens. the jewish people returns to its ancient homeland. this book tells the story of jesus, from this perspective. jesus was born in flash as a jew and all his first followers were from his people. reading the book gave me a sence of great historical tragedy, that carries at the same time a great promise. the book exhausts the pure spiritual truth that beyond the story.
