The Bible did not begin in Rome.

It did not begin in America.

It did not begin in a church bookstore.

It began in the world of Israel - with covenant, Torah, prophets, exile, return, promise, and the God who speaks.

In When the Mountain Shook, Michael Clegg writes as a Deaf Jewish believer who has spent many years in church rooms where questions were not always welcomed, wounds were not always heard, and the Jewish world of Scripture was often treated like a side topic instead of the foundation.

With honesty, humor, grief, and hope, this book calls readers back to the mountain, back to the Word, and back to the table.

This is not a book about winning arguments.

It is not about attacking one denomination.

It is not about becoming proud because we learned a few Hebrew words.

It is about discipleship.

It is about listening.

It is about reading Scripture within its own world.

It is about Yeshua's prayer:

"That they may all be one."
- John 17:21

From Genesis to Exodus, from Torah to Yeshua, from Paul to Revelation, this book reminds us that the whole Bible talks to itself.

And maybe the mountain needs to shake again.

Not to destroy us.

But to wake us up.
