Review

This book is a short autobiography. It starts when he was a boy, tell us about his Jewish upbringing, and disciplinary problems he had at different schools. At seven years old, he was even sent to a military school. He ended up in a school in Switzerland. He tells of meeting his wife, and some of their struggles. After they met, she became pregnant  from a sexual assault, they got married, and put the baby up for adoption.

He tells about becoming a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. One step included when celebrating the Passover his uncle Pete to irritate his wife blurted out, “Christians believe that Christ was the Passover lamb!”

He concludes about his reconnecting with the daughter they put up for adoption. The last two chapters are a gospel presentation from two different perspectives, the historical and the personal.

The last two chapters are a gospel presentation from two different perspectives, the historical and the personal.

This is in many ways a very honest book. Tom is open about his thoughts and feelings, even if they do not paint them in the best light.

“Changed” by Tom Cantor is an interesting read and a good evangelistic giveaway book. You can Google it to see the impact is making. Many people at Mission Valley Community Chapel have given this book away; we have keep having to get more copies for on the free table. It goes so quickly!

Tom Cantor usually teaches our Adult Sunday School class (He’s going through the Gospel of Matthew now) and gives the sermon for our worship service on the odd numbered Sundays of the month (His sermons are usually a series on a topic or through a book of the Bible).

Update

Last Saturday, March 22, 2022, the New York Post ran an article on Tom Cantor’s most recent mass mailing of his book “Changed” – New Yorkers flooded with unsolicited book pushing religious change.

They called it “Junk mail for Jesus.” But as Apostle Paul wrote, he was glad for whatever motive Christ (the Messiah) was preached (Philippians 1:18). How much more when it’s “Junk mail for Jesus” with a good motive! And as the apostle Paul, a Jewish believer in Jesus, said “My heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved” (Romans 1:10).

Sunday Hymn – Praise him, Praise Him!

Here is a hymn that we sang during the Breaking of Bread/Communion service. It’s another great hymn by Fanny Crosby.

Verse three calls the Lord Jesus “prophet, and priest, and king!” The Lord truly is Prophet (Deuteronomy 18:15), Priest (Psalm 110:4), and King (Psalm 2:6).

Praise him, Praise Him!
Words by Fanny J. Crosby & music by Chester G. Allen

1. Praise him, praise him! Jesus, our blessed redeemer!
Sing, O earth, his wonderful love proclaim!
Hail him, hail him! Highest archangels in glory!
Strength and honor give to his holy name!
Like a shepherd, Jesus will guard his children.
In his arms he carries them all day long.

Chorus:
Praise him! Praise him! tell of his excellent greatness.
Praise him! Praise him! ever in joyful song.

2. Praise him, praise him! Jesus, our blessed redeemer!
For our sins, he suffered, and bled, and died.
He our rock, our hope of eternal salvation,
hail him, hail him! Jesus, the crucified.
Sound his praises, Jesus who bore our sorrows,
love unbounded, wonderful, deep, and strong.

Chorus

3. Praise him, praise him! Jesus, our blessed redeemer!
Heav’nly portals loud with hosannas ring!
Jesus, Savior, reigneth forever and ever!
Crown him, crown him! prophet, and priest, and king!
Christ is coming, over the world victorious.
Pow’r and glory unto the Lord belong.

Chorus

Sunday Hymn – Hail, Thou Once-Despised Jesus!

It’s been said that much that we learn about God (our theology) is from the hymns that we sing. What we sing is easier to remember, easier to repeat, and there’s something about music that gets things deep into our soul. Here is a hymn we sang last Sunday that teaches us much biblical truth about the Lord Jesus.

Hail, Thou Once Despised Jesus!
Words by John Blakewell & music by François H. Barthelemon

1. Hail, Thou Once Despised Jesus!
Hail, Thou Galilean King!
Thou Didst Suffer To Release Us,
Thou Didst Free Salvation Bring.
Hail, Thou Agonizing Saviour,
Bearer Of Our Sin And Shame!
By Thy Merits We Find Favour,
Life Is Given Through Thy Name.

2. Paschal Lamb, By God Appointed,
All Our Sins Were On Thee Laid;
By Almighty Love Anointed,
Thou Hast Full Atonement Made.
All Thy People Are Forgiven,
Through The Virtue Of Thy Blood;
Opened Is The Gate Of Heaven,
Peace Is Made ‘Twixt Man And God.

3. Jesus, Hail! Enthroned In Glory,
There Forever To Abide;
All The Heavenly Hosts Adore Thee,
Seated At Thy Father’s Side.
There For Sinners Thou Art Pleading,
There Thou Dost Our Place Prepare;
Ever For Us Interceding,
Till In Glory We Appear.

4. Worship, Honour, Power, And Blessing,
Thou Art Worthy To Receive;
Loudest Praises, Without Ceasing,
Meet It Is For Us To Give.
Help, Ye Bright Angelic Spirits,
Bring Your Sweetest, Noblest Lays;
Help To Sing Our Saviour’s Merits,
Help To Chant Immanuel’s Praise.
