Bread NEWS 20 - 'The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven' & 'Messianic Jewish Church Won’t Appeal Israeli Court Ruling'

The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven and  Messianic Jewish Church Won’t Appeal Israeli Court Ruling --------------------- Report from: Compass Direct NEWS A congregation of Messianic Jews in Israel, who recently lost a lawsuit against an ultra-orthodox Jewish group, that allegedly incited a riot against them, has decided not to appeal their case, the church’s pastor said.   After meeting with his congregation and members of the Messianic community in Israel, Howard Bass, pastor of Yeshua’s Inheritance church in Be'er Sheva, said, "Even though there is good legal basis ... we don’t feel it’s the Lord’s will to appeal,” later adding he felt the verdict was “totally distorted.” In 2007, Bass filed suit against Yehuda Deri, chief Sephardic rabbi in the city of Beer Sheva, and Yad L’Achim, an organization that fights against Messianic Jews in Israel, for allegedly inciting a riot at a December 2005 service that Bass was leading. --------------------- The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven Report from: Christian Newswire and Breaking Christian News Kevin Malarkey's short drive home in November, 2004 with his son, Alex, turned out to be an unexpected road trip to heaven and back.   Alex's story of the time he spent in heaven while in a coma is fully told by both him and his father, in a new Tyndale House book, "The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven," a remarkable account of miracles, angels, and life beyond this world. Alex was presumed dead at the scene of the accident. He survived, but his skull was almost completely detached from his spinal column. His parents were told that injuries involving this extent of spinal alignment virtually always result in death. If Alex were to survive, he would be a quadriplegic, never breathe independently, swallow food, or speak. Alex's family and friends started a round-the-clock prayer vigil in the ICU, which quickly spread across the country. In a matter of weeks, Alex's most severe spinal injuries were healed without medical intervention leading stunned doctors to cancel a critical spinal alignment surgery.
