Why Me?: A Jew, Chosen and Called to Messiah

by Jacob Damkani

Overview

From a proud and willful young Jew in Israel, to living the American dream, until finally, to a victorious surrender, Why Me? follows the journey traveled by Jacob Damkani.

Through the ancient yet living words that God spoke, Jacob learned the plan of the Almighty - for himself, for Israel, and how, through His people Israel, all nations of the earth will be blessed. An inspiring account of what it truly means to be a Jew - the fulfillment of God's promise, to the Jew first and also to the Gentile. Could it be that we are not alone in our hidden struggles? Could we dare to believe that the Almighty has paved the way for each one of us, back to Himself? When we hear that gentle, all powerful voice of God, how will we answer? By faith, hope, love, through grace and an abundant peace, may you discover the beauty of a living relationship with God, who is not religion but love.

About the Author

Born in 1952 into a religious Jewish family in Israel, Jacob Damkani soon realized God could not be found in the synagogue. A relentless search for meaning and purpose ensued and characterized the rest of his life.

In 1977, Jacob accepted Yeshua haMashiach (Jesus Christ) as his Lord. He joined “Last Days Ministries” in the US under Keith and Melody Green before returning to Israel. There he began writing and printing Gospel tracts that he distributed in the streets of Israel at a time when no one else dared to do so. In 1984 Trumpet of Salvation to Israel was founded. Trumpet of Salvation to Israel is dedicated to bringing the Jewish Messiah to the Jewish people in a Jewish way. Trumpet of Salvation to Israel has hosted many believers from the nations for teaching and outreach at their Jaffa House and at Hotel Gilgal in Tel Aviv.

Jacob Damkani has also formed a strong presence on social media on both Facebook and YouTube. In 2012 the documentary about Yeshua, “The Other Side of the Cross”, was released. In 2016 the documentary, “The Messenger” and in 2017 the film "A New Spirit", were released, both films based on his book “Why Me?” These were the first Messianic films to be screened in theaters across Israel.
