Once you have finished your tour of New Faith Favorites, please take some time to visit some of my friends through links to their websites.
Please be assured that any website I recommend I have personally visited (some of them many times). Most of them have direct relevancy to this site. Some others probably have little relevancy at all, but I just like them enough that I want to share them with you.
Each heading will have some promotional text, followed by a brief note of my own. I hope you will gain something from your visits.

CD's, Live performances, Studio cellist.
David Abramsky.com
Note: David is a total professional musician, with a style that takes a back seat to no one. Yet his life is sold out to the King of creation.
Only a life that was broken and then healed could so affect the lives of others . . .
Only a musical spirit that had been crushed and then transformed could produce such keyboard artistry . . .
Only a cultural heritage birthed in Russia and nurtured in Israel could produce compositions that sweep 4000 years of suffering and triumph.
Only a man with this background could produce performances that are a celebration of freedom, that explode with vibrancy and joy.
Song of Israel
Note: To spend a night with Alyosha in worship is an experience you will never forget. I was transported to the heavenlies when he led us in spontaneous worship a few years ago in Melbourne, Florida.
"Just like Christ has done for me,I want the songs that I sing to meet people where they are. The music should inspire you to dance, rejoice, reflect, move, cry, praise, and worship.
The music was created to cross all racial barriers, to impact all cultures, and to bring people in communion and right relationship with the living God."

HARMONY Jew and Gentile Together
|
Window View.org asks the questions! Is there purpose, direction, and meaning to life? What does the future hold for humankind?
So, finally, given all we can see, the window is a place to reflect and consider the direction of this world and to consider making a personal paradigm. Your response is thus creating a working model to cover the entirety as to how life works.
Harmony Jew and Gentile Linkage
Note: As you can probably determine by looking at the text above, this is not your light, trite, fast food style of intellectual nourishment. Be prepared to spend some quality time here on a seven course meal for the mind. The link I have furnished deals with the relationship between Jew and Gentile. Then you can take a journey through a wide range of stimulating topics.

The International Christian Embassy Jerusalem
|
The International Christian Embassy Jerusalem was founded in 1980 as an evangelical Christian response to the need to comfort Zion according to the command of scripture found in Isaiah 40: 1-2.
"Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her hard service has been completed, that her sin has been paid for, that she has received from the Lord's hand double for all her sins."
ICEJ
Note: The Scripture commands us to "pray for the peace of Jerusalem". The ICEJ not only does this with devotion, but they also puts their prayers into action. I believe that this website should be a given for any believer.

Son of David Congregation
Note: Although the praise and worship, the dancing, and the fellowship at SODC are indeed wonderful. I believe the one thing I would pick to be their strongest feature is their teaching. Both the proclaimed word, and the Havurot (small groups) are designed to equip the believer for the joyous work of the kingdom.
