Grifenhagen

See Jesus like you never have before.

Have you ever wanted to better understand the language and customs of the Holy Scriptures? Jewish culture is steeped in imagery that points to Christ and will help open your heart to God’s ways.

Pastor Ed Grifenhagen grew up in a devout Jewish home before Jesus transformed his life. In 365 Hebrew Words Every Christian Should Know, he extracts hundreds of Jesus-focused truths from Hebrew and ancient Jewish practices. Throughout this 365-day devotional, you will

• learn the meanings and pronunciations of Hebrew words,
• discover the richness of Jewish festivals and traditions, and
• connect these insights to their fulfillment in Christ.

Deepen your relationship with Jesus as you explore how Hebrew reveals the beauty of the gospel.

Ed was raised in a devoutly religious Jewish home in South Georgia--with all the holidays, traditions, ceremonies, and rituals that came along with it. He is the son of a West Point graduate and a mom whose family escaped Nazi Germany by the skin of their teeth.

He believed the Bible was a book of fairy tales used to help people live a better life but didn’t believe it was actually true. At thirty-five, he thought it only fair to read the book he said he didn’t believe. It wouldn’t be too hard to disprove, right? But God had other plans. On January 2, 2000, he started at Genesis 1:1, and twelve and a half months later, he surrendered his life to Christ.

He spent thirty years in the business world and is now a pastor, author, and speaker. He also founded M2540, a nonprofit ministry that serves the homeless community, and cofounded Set Shepherds, a nonprofit ministry that provides chaplains on film sets. He has been married to Susan since 1988 and has two sons and four grandchildren. He has a BA from the University of Georgia and a master of theological studies with high distinction from Liberty University.
