In the Shadow of the Most High: Uncovering My Jewish Ancestors' Perilous Journey Through History - Rediscovering Our Roots: Judeo-Christian History Revisited, #1

Bronze Winner, Readers' Choice Award (5-Star Rated)

For generations, the truth remained hidden—until Christian pastor Doug Einfeld uncovered a family history long concealed: his paternal ancestors were Jewish.

Tracing their journey from the deserts of the ancient Near East to the villages of medieval Europe, Einfeld recounts centuries of survival, persecution, and faith, revealing the enduring legacy of a hidden Jewish lineage. Drawing on his vast pastoral experience and in-depth historical research, he brings both insight and clarity to this remarkable story.
As the first volume in the series Rediscovering Our Roots: Judeo-Christian History Revisited, this book invites readers to explore the hidden currents that shaped both Jewish and Christian history.

Have you wondered:

What was everyday life like in biblical times for ordinary people? What really happened during the 400 years of "silence" between the Old and New Testaments? How did a small village called Rome grow to rule an empire of tens of millions? What did Jesus' ministry truly focus on, and how did the Gospel accounts emerge? How did the early Jewish Jesus movement spread beyond Judaism, and what tensions arose between the two? What fueled medieval anti-Jewish violence, and how did communities survive against overwhelming odds?

In the Shadow of the Most High is more than a historical narrative—it is a journey through time, faith, and survival, illuminating the past in a way that is both accessible and deeply engaging.
