Produktinformationen zu „On the Cusp: a Jewish Girl's Very, Very, Very Long Journey to Jesus (ePub)“
On the Cusp is a combination of the author's testimony and memoirs, leading the reader through her innocence in the sixties and seventies, the tumultuous eighties and nineties, and the turning towards Jesus Christ (Yeshua) as Lord and Savior in the new century of the two thousands. There is an undercurrent of love and acceptance portraying an undeniable part of the Lord's patience and grace throughout the work, combined with His just nature.
Growing up Jewish in the sixties and seventies in the shadow of J.F. State Park off Bond Boulevard in Southern California, there is a horsey element to the book as well, including Shai's's behind the scenes life as a polo girl, her aspirations to show jump, and the privilege of having a beautiful off the track Thoroughbred in her suburban backyard. Also reflected here are the struggles of growing up Jewish in a decidedly non-Jewish world.
When Grandma Lizzie tells Shai about Jesus as a six year old, the seed is planted despite Shai's mother covering Shai's's ears and begging Grandma Lizzie to stop. Later, as an unhappy thirteen year old, Shai tries to connect with God on Christmas day, galloping her horse to Heaven's Point with Grandma Lizzy's New Testament tucked in her new saddlebags. But nothing special happens and Shai is left to navigate murky waters of adolescence and a chaotic adult life without any tangible connection with God for decades to come.
On the Cusp portrays God's mercy, patience and great love for even the most foolish of us. So enjoy the nostalgia, fallenness and ample human error of it all, and bask in God's Amazing Grace, never forgetting that being on the cusp of Greatness, His Greatness, is an opportunity the Lord offers to everyone. Even the seemingly most hopeless of us.

Autoren-Porträt von Shai Blumberg
Shai Blumberg grew up in Southern California in the sixties and seventies, exercising polo ponies and jumping her thoroughbred, Nevada. She graduated high school in 1977 and went on to college, studying on and off through her twenties until she received a bachelors in screenplay writing at a university in Los Angeles and later another one in English at a local state university. After subbing in the city, teaching ESL at night and singing in various rock bands up and down the Club Strip, Shai moved to the mountains and taught creative writing, interpersonal communication and poetry writing at a community college there. She received her masters in Speech Communication at a university in Nevada. Upon returning to Los Angeles in her thirties, she taught Special Ed out in the desert of L.A. County, then eighth grade English, and later earned her Clear Teaching Credential in Secondary Ed English, again, at the local university. After giving birth to her two boys, Lucas and Liam, she began teaching Introduction to Speech Communication at a community college in the desert, and remained there for nearly twenty years. She moved to Colorado when both boys went to college and she is now living back East with her three horses, dog and her husband, Thomas.
