Fire of His Word This might seem like a strange statement, but it is time for the church of the Living God to return to His pure Word above all else. Jesus is the Word of God, and He has given us His Word, called the Bible. We have begun to trust in our strategies and systems and smooth speeches. But in many ways, we have departed from His Word. It is time to return to pure and simple devotion to Jesus and His Word. The time is now. Today is the day of salvation. Allow the pages in this book, which are pregnant with His Word, to reignite the "Fire of His Word" in your heart. It is time to allow His Living Word to reinvigorate your life and the lives of those around you!

"One of the things as a pastor that I love is that when I read anything written by Geoffrey Cohen, I am confident he will be true to scripture. As my wife and I read this book, we were, greatly encouraged by the commitment to let scripture interpret scripture. This book helps greatly in ministry and personally because as a teacher, I can use this resource to help in my own teaching. And personally, the teachings contained within are helpful in my daily interactions socially. Many people have questions and not many answers and the answers they do have many times are unbiblical or based on tradition only. Therefore the Word of God is not informing their needs. Geoffrey brings a solid Biblical understanding and clarity of definition to many current issues facing our world. You will be challenged and blessed in your time reading this amazing work." -Joe Stepp, Pastor, Southside Baptist Church, Perryton, Texas "I recall before Pastor Geoff started to write this book, how we prayed together, asking God to reveal His heart for the church today. And that is just what the Lord did! As I was reading the book, there were moments that the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart, and I ended up crying, repenting and praising God for the truth of the Word that penetrated my heart. This is truly a timely, clear and powerful message and call from God's heart to your heart. I believe this book will be a powerful tool in the hand of the Holy Spirit to help people find Jesus and prepare them to be ready for His Second Coming, which is very soon!" -Pastor Rudolph Claassen. (Pastoring various assemblies in the AFM of South Africa Church for the past 50 years). "Wow! In all my years as a believer, I have never encountered such a clear, straightforward presentation of eschatology as I have in this book. I have gained a better understanding of end-time events from Suddenly! than I have gained from dozens of sermons and books addressing the topic. As I read it, my spirit leapt within me with excitement about God's plans for this time in human history. Like John the Baptist, Cohen's voice is a voice "crying in the wilderness" telling us to "Prepare the way of the Lord; Make straight in the desert a highway for our God" (Isaiah 40:3). My prayer is that all who read it will heed the call." -Cynthia K. Shinabarger Reed, PhD., PhD.

MY QUEST FOR THE PROMISED MESSIAHMy Jerusalem Encounter is the remarkable story of one man's quest for God, and God's quest for one man. In this very personal account, Geoffrey Cohen shares his journey of faith, which spans three continents and more than two decades. He describes with vivid clarity the turmoil he experienced in his native South Africa, the elements of war he witnessed in his backyard, and his incomprehensible persecution-oftentimes at the hand of so-called "Christians"-because of his Jewish birthright.This story demonstrates how God's undying love for His covenant people pursued one man whose life was plagued with hate and distrust of every person claiming Christianity. Until, that is, he had a supernatural encounter in the very heart of Jerusalem.The great lengths to which God pursued Geoffrey is a clear demonstration that He has not forgotten His covenant people, and illustrates the unfathomable and endless love He has for each one of us. His footprint can be seen throughout every page and detailed account of Geoffrey's story. You will be compelled to see through the eyes of one man how passionately God cares for every person, and how He will not relent until we each have a personal encounter with Him.Published by Burkhart Books, Bedford, Texas

The Two Emerging ChurchesAccording to scripture, the Church is the "pillar and foundation" of the truth. Jesus said that He is the Way, the truth, and the life. As the Body of Messiah, we are called to be a reflection of that truth, whether we want to face this high calling or not. Yet, if we are honest, the Church is in a crisis of truth worldwide right now. Never in history has there been so much confusion and lack of clarity, even amongst believers in Jesus. This book seeks to bring that confusion to an end by restoring clarity through the absolute truths of scripture that all Christians can agree on, and must agree on if we are to see the image of Jesus restored to His Body. A timely wake-up call from God's heart to every preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The contents of this book are like a two-edged sword that penetrates the heart. The reaction will either be one of feeling offended or feeling grateful for a relevant message that addresses crucial issues facing the Church today. This is a MUST-READ BOOK for every Church Leader who is serious about these end times, especially regarding what The Great Shepherd, Jesus Christ, expects from us, His shepherds, concerning caring for His sheep. Most importantly, the message of this book brings to attention the Church's mandate and relationship with the Jewish People and the nation Israel. I pray that the Holy Spirit, Who directed Geoffrey as he wrote this book, will minister, bless, and inspire you as he did to me.-Pastor Rudolph Claassen, Pastor of AFM Church of South Africa for over 50 yearsGeoffrey's writing style is so engaging that I felt as if we were sitting down together, having a conversation over a cup of coffee while he was explaining the concepts of The Two Emerging Churches to me. He explains profound yet simple truths in a way that makes them easy to comprehend. The truths Geoffrey explains might be hard for some to accept, but he relates them with love. Geoffrey's love, a love that reflects His Heavenly Father, for the Church and every believer is evident in this book. Because of that love, God's love, the Holy Spirit has compelled Geoffrey to write this book. The Two Emerging Churches is mandatory reading for anyone who considers themselves a believer in and follower of Yeshua (Jesus). Heeding the instructions in this book may make the difference between hearing, "Well done, good and faithful servant ...," and "I never knew you, depart from me ....-Cynthia K.

Our God is a God of order. He has a pattern for almost everything. But what about the patterns God instituted for the human race? The message God has given us about His Son's redemption is called the gospel. God has entrusted this incredible, one-of-a-kind message to believers in Jesus. He wants us to take it into all the world and to share it with every person we know in a way that is understandable for them. And God, who has a pattern for everything in the universe, has an order for how we are to share that message. In this book, we will look at this pattern and analyze the reasons God set it in place. We will also consider why this is the method God blesses the most. Geoffrey Cohen's practical and spiritual sensitivity joins with his leadership in the Messianic Jewish ministry. These experiences unquestionably qualify him as a "voice" to be heard and a brother to be received. Doubtless, God's Blueprint for the Great Commission will assist many to find help and wisdom in maintaining a sensitive and discerning awareness of "the hour" and "the Call." The hearts of spiritual leaders everywhere need to be tuned to both if we would "keep in stride" with the Holy Spirit's acts, especially as pertains to Jerusalem, the Jews, and the Messianic Jewish movement.

Although the gospel message has been preached for over 2000 years, it is very rarely preached in the original context in which it happened. As a result, the Jewish listener usually believes that this message is exclusively for Gentiles. I was one of those people. Although unintentionally, the Gospel is often presented through the filter of a predominantly "churchy" and Western culture. As a Jewish follower of Yeshua (Jesus), I am passionate to see this message presented in the historical and cultural context in which it happened. The Gospel was never meant to be an exclusive message for "Westernized" and "Christianized" people only. As a result, the Holy Spirit placed the desire on my heart to present the Gospel in the biblical and cultural context in which it took place. This is why I wrote this book, to make it clear to all that the greatest story ever to be told will once again be available to all.Geoffrey Cohen is a Messianic Jew (A Jew who believes that Jesus is the Messiah) born in South Africa. He has been ministering the Word of God and preaching the Gospel for over 35 years. He has preached in more than twenty nations to live audiences, on television and the radio, in Churches and Messianic synagogues, and in many public settings. His passion is to see souls saved, delivered, and become true disciples of Jesus who, in turn, produce more disciples. He has a passion to teach and see the full counsel of God come back to this generation, where mostly only part of the truth is being preached. He is a respected author and Bible teacher. Geoffrey holds a bachelor's Degree in Theology and a business degree. He and his wife Tetiana travel and minister together.

Voice of the Prophets What would the Old Testament prophets say to us if they were in our midst right today? What would they say to America, the church, and the Western world in its current spiritual and political condition? Are there lessons to be learned from the warnings and admonitions of these prophets to ancient Israel? In a time when there are so many "unsure words" of prophecy on social media, the Scriptures give us a sure and clear Word of Prophecy, as Peter says in his epistle to the Hebrew believers of his day. The message to us from these prophets is clear, and we would be wise to take heed as individuals, as the Body of Messiah, and as a nation. If we do take heed, we will know what course of action to take for our lives, for our families, and our nation to have the face of God shine upon us once again. You will be inspired, encouraged, and warned when necessary by The Voice of the Prophets.Published Burkhart Books, Bedford, Texaswww.BurkhartBooks.com
