When You Lie Down & When You Rise Up is a set of five daily
reading and commentary books based on the seven aliyot in each weekly
Torah portion, from traditional and contemporary sources, with further
study and application, written from a Messianic Jewish perspective by
Jonathan Allen.
"Jonathan Allen's "When You Lie Down & When You Rise Up" is a
very welcome addition to the sparse field of books dealing with
Messianic Jewish perspectives on the weekly parasha. Drawn from
Biblical and rabbinic sources, these short, pithy pieces challenge us
to think about our faith and behaviour in a Jewish and Messianic
context. And thanks, Jonathan, for including the Hebrew and
transliteration - it helps make the materials accessible to readers
at all levels of Messianic Jewish learning."
Rabbi Carl Kinbar
"Jonathan Allen's concise devotionals extract a living message for
today from the Hebrew text of the Torah. Each study begins with the
sidra, the traditional Jewish weekly Torah portion, goes on to
discover a connection with the New Testament, and concludes with a
practical application for followers of Messiah. Jonathan
demonstrates once again that the Word of God is living and active,
and sharper than any two-edged sword."
Rabbi Russ Resnik
"Jonathan Allen does a good job of providing short, reflective and
helpful commentary on the weekly Torah readings from a Messianic
Jewish perspective. He draws upon the riches of the classic Jewish
commentators and views their insight through the lense of the New
Covenant Scriptures."

"In a world thirsty for the living word of God, Jonathan Allen is
drawing from neglected wells to bring valuable insights to the text.
Reconnecting us with the nuances of the language and the traditions
of the people to whom the scriptures were given is a much needed
contribution to all those who take the Bible seriously."
Rev. Tim Butlin
"Jonathan Allen's work is intellectually, academically and
spiritually substantive without being stilted, overly technical or
simply boring ... For those desiring a perspective on the Books of
Moses that integrates reflections from the New Covenant authors,
this volume and its companions provide a valuable addition, showing
respect and relevance for both Jewish and Gentile readers."

"For the reader who is inexperienced in Jewish sources or in
applying the B'rit Hadashah in its naturally Jewish way, I recommend
'When You Lie Down & When You Rise Up' as fine introductory
studies that do not overwhelm with an abundance of information but
maintain a steady focus on the core issues of the Torah."
Rabbi Carl Kinbar
"Jonathan Allen is a profound teacher of the Scriptures from a

Yeshua."

"What is distinct about this volume, and the series of which it is
a part, is that instead of arguing a case for the 'New Perspective' the
writer is simply calling us into a new devotion. Here we are invited
to read the Torah portion for the week and enter into an unfolding of
insight by those who have studied and read these passages for centuries.
We will find treasures from the Hebrew language, nuggets from Jewish
tradition, wisdom from the Sages and, of course, the new life of the
Spirit in the New Testament."

"Jonathan Allen's reading of Deuteronomy is a landmark in Messianic
Jewish Bible Commentary. His detailed comments on the Hebrew text in the
light of traditional midrashic tradition shed new light on the materials,
and brings out their fresh challenges for the Messianic movement, the Church
and Israel. It will provoke you to deeper meditation on the meaning of the
passages, sharper focus on the work of God in your own life, and a clearer
calling to serve Him today."
