A propos du livre

Revue de presse

Steve Maltz achieves the almost impossible in this book: making the study of the Hebrew language lively, interesting and understandable. The book has two aims: first to explain how the Old Testament came to be written and second to introduce the complete novice to the Hebrew language. As he traces the story of the writing and preservation of the Hebrew Scriptures we see God's hand at work. We marvel at the extremes that the Jewish scribes went to ensure that no errors crept in to their copies. The author gives us an insight into the richness and depth of the Hebrew language with dozens of mini word studies throughout the book. He highlights many fascinating facts on key passages. As an added bonus there are thoughtful reviews of several popular English translations covering not only the quality of the translation but also the original text on which they are based. Steve Maltz writes in an engaging lively style that makes you want to turn the page. He has a high view of scripture believing that it is 100% inspired right down to the smallest jot and tittle. He provides ample evidence why every jot and tittle matters. Some may find his style a little jokey at times but do not let this put you off. This will help the layman understand more fully the wonders of the Hebrew Scriptures. Highly recommended. --Alan Hill (The Goodbookstall)

In this fascinating book, Steve Maltz argues that that God chose to reveal himself through Hebrew because every letter of the aleph-bet (that s not alphabet misspelled, by the way) has a visual significance ... More detailed treatments of the wonders and mysteries of the Hebrew language are available but for those who want a readable introduction to the matter or for those who simply want to dip their toes into the subject God s Signature is definitely the book to start with. You ll find it very difficult to put down. --Mike Moore (Director of Christian Witness to Israel)

A paperback book of just 169 pages, this is an excellent introduction to its theme. But this is no dry, dusty text book about an ancient language. Maltz proceeds at a pace that complete novices can cope with, peppered with his trademark gentle humour ... God s Signature is likely to become something of a Christian classic of the next two decades, meeting a growing interest Hebraic Roots ... Hopefully Maltz s book will encourage individual Christians towards further and deeper explorations of God s special language, although I emphasize this is a stand-alone book which neatly encompasses its chosen topic. I have reviewed many books, some business books and several Christian titles. There s a temptation for all reviewers to find fault in their review, either to prove that they were on the ball or even to demonstrate that they are in some way more clever than the author they are reviewing! But I really find nothing to criticize in this book. It is excellent from start to finish. I give it a 5-star rating. Buy it I guarantee you will enjoy it, and be blessed though it! --Peter Sammons (Writer and Publisher)
