Author Biography
Jim Cummins has served as teacher, pastor, evangelist and ministry planter in a variety of denominational and non-denominational settings for more than 35 years. For at least 20 of those years, Jim has been used by the Lord to plant and lead Messianic congregations - places where Jews and non-Jews who believe in Yeshua (Jesus) as Messiah and Savior worship and serve the Lord together. Throughout his years in ministry, Jim has taught Biblical Hebrew and Greek to small groups. This teaching experience determined the content and approach of this book. Lisa Cummins' ten years of experience in middle, high school and community college teaching inspired this book's friendly, workbook-style format, which she designed and typeset. She has served in both traditional Christian and Messianic settings for more than 21 years.
