Betrayed! is the page-turning account of a loving Jewish family caught on divergent prongs of a historic conflict. When Stan Telchin's daughter accepts Jesus as her Messiah, she makes a touching plea for him to search out the truth for himself. Intending to prove her wrong, Telchin sets out on a vigorous and critical examination of the claims of Jesus Christ. He is astonished at what he learns and finds himself facing a wrenching and life-changing decision. As readers travel with Telchin, they too will discover a deeper, fuller awareness of both Judaism and Christianity, as well as how God can heal wounds from the bitterest conflicts. Even more, readers will discover the inexorable power of the gospel. This new edition includes an update from the author and wisdom-filled words on Jewish identity.

Great book despite current family/business problems

I recently read Betrayed! in a one day time frame. I cried as the father recalled the days - years ago - that God dealt with their hearts and through scripture demonstrated His plan of salvation.

Currently there appears to be a shadow cast on the author - his family and ministry. It sounds as though there have been problems. Nevertheless, this book is scriptural. It doesn't sound as though allegations are targeting the basic truth in the story line. While his ministry practices may be currently in question, I have no doubt the book - especially the scriptural references at the end - can still be used as a most valuable witnessing tool.

There are souls eternally in the balance. While there may be recent transgressions that need to be addressed and truly dealt with, let us all hope and pray the confusion and turmoil surrounding the book, family, and ministry will be resolved.

If the substance of the story is true, let us hope nothing hinders the great work it can do in people's lives. If there are other problems, let us hope they can be dealt with appropriately. Paul encourages believers not to take their brothers to court before the unbelievers. Why? Because souls hang in the balance. People get confused over these 'things' and then doubt the most important thing.

Let us hope that the Lord - so good at cleaning up spiritual 'dirty laundry' - will do the work in this situation that seems so evidently needful. Sometimes there are even medical reasons for the unusual behavior of people. I for one loved the book and felt excited at the potential of this story and these scriptures to help lead many to Christ. For instance, this testimony and these scripture studies could really help my friends who survived the Holocaust. Nevertheless, with all this trouble ... how sad!

There seems to be a spiritual battle here; it sounds like a situation that needs our prayers. Anyway, terrific, uniquely helpful book - truly hope problems get resolved.

Jew for Jesus

Stan Telchin discovered that Jews can believe Jesus was and is the Messiah AND stay true to their Jewish culture and roots!

In his book, Telchin wonderfully retells the story of how he came to Christ by investigating his daughter's new-found faith. It all began with a phone call from college. Instead of anger, he responded with honest research.

It doesn't matter what religious background you are from... you will want to hear this simple, yet... emotional and intellectual journey from this Jewish businessman. I wish that everyone was as honest as Telchin was in his search.

I read this book in three hours. You will enjoy this quick and enlightening little book.

Literally could not put it down.

This book was reccommended to me, so when I received it from Amazon I opened it right away and started reading. A true story with major life changes that took so much courage, and the fallout that followed...it pulled me in and I literally could not stop reading until I finished the book. That is something that I have never done before. I highly reccommend this book for anyone who reads. Period.

"Betrayed" is a compelling story of Jews coming to Faith

One of the gifts I received on Christmas day was "Betrayed". During lulls in the activity I picked it up and started reading it. I could hardly put it down and finished it today.

Some are critical of Telchin for not being a religious Jew. But that is true of most of the Jews that I know. It was true of my father. He was "Reformed". Family and community were important. God? Well if there was a God - He was not personal or knowable.

Like Telchin, I too became a Christian - coming to believe that Jesus is in fact the Messiah. I know many others of Jewish heritage that have done the same including some who were Orthodox and greatly burdened by the stricture of the Law.

I would encourage any Jew who is searching for meaning to read, "Betrayed". I would also encourage Christians to read it, if they want to understand what it is like for Jews to consider the claim of Jesus that He is the promised Messiah.
