I once tried to give a standard Gideon's New Testament to a rabbi in Brooklyn. He handed it back like it was poison. Last month, I gave him the J4J Pack Bible. He didn't throw it away. He opened it. He saw the Hebrew letters. He read the introduction by a Jewish believer.
For decades, Christians have struggled with a unique dilemma: How do you show a Jewish friend that the Messiah spoken of in Isaiah 53 is actually Jesus of Nazareth, without them shutting down the second you open the New Testament?
Unlike a standard King James Version (KJV) or New International Version (NIV), the J4J Pack Bible presents the text in a unique "parallel" or "side-by-side" format. It usually places the Tree of Life Version (TLV) or a modified text alongside traditional Jewish commentary.
