Who Is Israel? Redeemed Israel - A Primer
Batya Wootten and her husband, Angus, were early pioneers in the Messianic movement. Decades ago they began publishing the first Messianic Materials Catalogue, created to serve a fledgling new interest in Israel and the Jewish people.  Batya read countless books about these subjects so she could write informed descriptions of them for the catalogue, and so discovered the great diversity of opinions about Israel s role in the world and about Israel s identity.  Hungering to truly know the truth of the matter, she began to cry out in desperation to her Heavenly Father, asking Him to show her His truth. As promised, He answered: Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know (Jeremiah 33:3). The Holy One began to open up the Scriptures to her, and His answers led to the writing of many books about Israel and its full restoration.  Batya's challenging books represent decades of study, discussion, and prayer on the crucial issues of identifying Israel, celebrating her feasts, honoring Torah, and the role of women, as well as the importance of the Holy Spirit, the Ruach haKodesh. Many readers have given testimony about having been transformed by her informative writings. Lives continue to be changed as they see the truth about Judah and Ephraim and their restoration. It is a truth that is helping to restore a brotherhood broken apart long ago. Her emphasis on the need to show mercy and grace to both houses is helping to heal the wounds that began when Israel was divided into two Kingdoms.  Her book, Israel s Feasts and Their Fullness: Expanded Edition, also represents many years of meticulous research, study, and prayerful writing. It is helping Believers to be liberated into glorious celebrations of the feasts. Several people have said of it, This is the best book about the feasts that I have ever read. Her book, Mama s Torah: The Role of Women, has likewise received high acclaim from both men and women. She also offers a jointly authored companion work: Israel Empowered by The Spirit, by Wallace E. Smith and Batya Wootten, plus this overview of her many works about Israel: Who is Israel? Israel Revealed--A Primer.  Batya is married to her best friend, Col. Angus Wootten (USA Ret.), author of the visionary books, Restoring Israel s Kingdom and Take Two Tablets Daily. Together they have ten children who have blessed them with many beloved offspring.   Working as a team, Angus and Batya moved forward from the early days of the House of David Catalogue and began publishing a Newsletter, the House of David Herald. They also founded the informative Messianic Israel web site: messianicisrael.com. This led to the birth of the Messianic Israel Alliance a rapidly growing and loosely affiliated Alliance of fellowships that agree with The Hope of Messianic Israel, which is a broad statement of faith.   Together Angus and Batya publish books that serve the growing army of Believers who are discovering the truth about their Hebraic heritage. They work to help raise up new leaders and to draw out their particular giftings. For this assignment they have been uniquely prepared by the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We know you will be blessed as you read their works.
