Reviews from Writer's Digest and Readers

Writer's Digest 15th Annual International Self-Published Book Awards.
Judge's Commentary: Some really deep information on religious traditions! You have taken on a monumental subject. An extremely useful reference book. I particularly enjoyed the many definitions of Jewish traditions and words.

Memorable Comments

"I have been fascinated by your scholarly writing of Return to the Fountainhead of the Faith. Whatever I have read in your work that pertains to the Jewish faith has been detailed and accurate--and written in a spirit of love and reverence, which I much appreciate." (Robin. Margate, South Africa. A Jewish high school teacher and mother of an ultra-orthodox Rabbi.)

"One of the most comprehensive and easy to read books on the subject of Jewish roots is titled Return to the Fountainhead of the Faith, by Shelley Gauld. Her book is very readable and, at almost 300 pages, is a treasure-chest filled with very practical knowledge and insight. The book is not dry academicism. It is a piece of artwork that touches head and heart." (Rev. Frank Lenihan, Montana USA)

"Roma [representative of International Christian Embassy Jerusalem] says `Return' covers what she considers to be the most important aspects of Christianity's Jewish roots. She is happy to have confirmation regarding what she has been teaching and sharing for so long--from someone she doesn't know, living in America!" (Marion. Westville, South Africa.)

"The time is right for such a work! What strikes me is that the book is essentially advanced material for mature Christians but, at the same time, has the inherent potential to function as the first step to salvation. What a combination!" (Renee. Winterton, South Africa)

"Irrespective of one's spiritual convictions, this book makes compelling reading. A must-read for the roaming, inquisitive mind." (Jeanette Gilks. Assagay, South Africa)

"What a wonderful resource!" (Joyce. Golden, Colorado USA. Joyce bought fourteen copies and sent them to all the clergy in her family.)

"It seems that there may be more of a connection between Jews and Gentiles than I had previously supposed . . ." (Gary. Dallas, Texas USA)
