Zonked Out: The Teen Psychologist of San Marcos Who Killed Her Santa Claus (Book) - 3/2/2022 11:42:12 AM
Just finished. I laughed through the entire novel. After reviewing my highlighted paragraphs, I realized I had just read a very serious book. Lots of life lessons to reflect on. Serious life lessons. This could end up a classic, since it hits every emotional button in the literary elevator.
Definite five stars, definite recommend.

I just met this author at a book signing last week. I bought a couple of his books, including Unanswered Questions from the Sunday News. I read this one first and it woke me up.
I have been such a sucker to buying into (and without challenging) the theory of evolution. Key word: theory. When a theory drags on for decades, know that something us scientifically wrong. Theories must turn into law, or be discarded.
Great book. If you want to challenge your core beliefs, this is a fun way to do it.

UNANSWERED QUESTIONS IN THE SUNDAY NEWS
Homeschoolers need books that entertain, and the kids finished this book before we had it one week. They love the two page lesson format. Just read two pages and you can learn about science, philosophy, math, history, physics, social sciences or any number of subjects.
Put all these lessons together, and you have a book to teach journalism. Writing is an important skill for college bound teens. The most important lesson to be learned from this book is pragmatic thinking. The teacher is not supposed to impose their conclusions on the students. The students are supposed to draw their own conclusions, independent of someone else.
Best of all, the students are supposed to write short articles from both perspectives--pro and con. As a parent, I love this book. If I didn't have any kids, I would enjoy reading it myself. Mostly because I had never considered any of these subjects before reading this book. Lessons such as, what is God's wife's name? Who would have thunk!

This is a crazy little book. It is composed of two page articles that are to be shared with a class. But you are not to tell the students what conclusion should be reached. They must make their own decision. My favorite chapter is where the author presents an algebraic equation that seems to prove Noah's Flood is the only logical explanation for today's population. I still keep that algebraic folded up in my wallet, in case someone challenges me on the accuracy of the Bible. Draw your own conclusions.
The Meaning of Hebrew Letters (Book) - 8/15/2013 6:42:17 PM
Never looked at holy text like this. A very mathematical approach that opened big doors for me. I finally figured out what the parables of Jesus meant. This book is full of breakthrough lessons.
A Commentary On Jonah (Book) - 8/15/2013 6:40:28 PM
This is just a fun book. It starts off fun and ends fun. Fun! Still, there is a lot of interesting lessons. I took it as a father/son break-through book.
Song of Songs the book for daughters (Book) - 8/15/2013 6:38:16 PM
Need to have that serious relationship talk? Read this book first. This should be one of those books that couples read together.

Short but powerful book. Serious subjects. Teens should read last two chapters about suicide. Very meaningful information.

THOUGHT-PROVOKING, LIBERATING AND EVOLUTINARY IN THE "TRUE SENSE”!
“UNANSWERED QUESTIONS IN THE SUNDAY NEWS”
~ A Review by Reverend Dr. Linda De Coff
Erudite Author and Journalist, Michael Ben Zehabe encourages from the very beginning ~ “Truth Favors the Fearless!” I do love this quote, and throughout the articles that comprise the first half of the book, Mr. Ben Zehabe takes us on a questioning journey ~ where we are guided to hold up fixed “cultural codes” of diverse religions, science, and the boundless heart of humanity next to the golden mirror of Truth itself, revealed in “Proof”. From dissertations on the actual day of the “Sabbath” to the mysteries of the timeless (where time stand stills at the Speed of Light) to examining illusions of the Age of the Earth, notions of the beginnings and endings of the Universe begin to be unmasked ~ and the Tower of Babel (diverse opinion) comes crumbling down. Thought-provoking, to say the least!
The second part of the book, begins to look in spiritual depth at the meaning of different numbers, letters and words of the Sacred Torah and the Jewish language, revealing the majesty of highest spiritual instruction contained ~ to assist humankind in the keeping of his/her Covenant with God, whose greatest name is Divine Love.
From exploring the negative conditions produced by divisiveness to the bliss produced via the exalted Power of the One, we see how mankind may join his/her own personal life with the harmony of the spheres, once again to become God’s beloved child come home ~ through the application of such high, timeless and harmonious tools.
This precious book is a manifestation of the high level of study, experience and implementation of the author not only on the path of journalistic critical observation and questioning, which he encourages all to do, that they may rise free of just slipping into the hypnosis of mass trends; but even more deeply to help the human soul remain free and truly “evolve” in the highest way, far beyond the confines of “Evolutionary” theory. To quote: “Giving and sharing equals happiness!” So says the Torah Such is the Law of the Universe!
And, "Where I see motion, I infer a motor!" ~ A stunning quote by St. Augustine referenced in this delightful tome.
Whether one is a journalist or teacher of the art, or simply wants to gain more knowledge of the hidden magnificence in the “Book of Light” and the roots of the Jewish language itself ~ this compilation of articles will be of greatest and most compelling interest to all who read!

A Commentary On Jonah (Book) - 4/22/2013 12:22:02 PM
Mr. Ben Zehabe just did a presentation at our church group on a commentary on Jonah. Wow! Details I never realized were there just kept rolling out. I read this book in one night, but I will re-read this book forever.
