JOIN US ON THE JOURNEY OF BEING
IN SEARCH OF SHALOM
WE ALL KNOW THE WORLD IS NOT AT PEACE
WE SEEK TO PURSUE TRUE SHALOM
We believe the God of Israel intends for us to have true inner peace despite the turmoil of the world around us.
In Search of Shalom is a cooperative project of Jewish and Gentile believers in Jesus. Our goal is to assure anyone willing to consider His claims that real peace is indeed possible. We seek to dialogue with all earnest seekers of peace.
Our “In Search of Shalom” name represents the striving for peace humanity has sought ever since being sent away from the Garden of Eden. Shalom (peace) would seem to be an elusive, if not impossible, goal. Just when we think it’s within our grasp, life changes and it flees from us.
We believe God wants to give us a share in the ultimate future of complete and cosmic shalom.

OUR STORIES
STORIES OF SHALOM

WHAT IS JESUS DOING IN MY BIBLE?

THE MOST JEWISH BOOK EVER
Bernard was shaped by stories of his family’s experience in the Holocaust. Though he didn’t take the Tanakh seriously, he was haunted by questions about the afterlife. Then a lecture on Jesus’ teachings transformed his life.
THERE IS ACTUALLY HOPE
Serving in Vietnam, Sam witnessed the horrors of war. His rabbi’s explanations of evil weren’t enough. One day Sam met some people who said Jesus was Jewish. Sam decided to attend their Bible study so he could laugh at them, but G-d had something else in mind.
PEACE FOR ALL HUMANITY
Early on, Rich decided Jesus could not be the Messiah, since there was no peace on earth. But he also realized humans couldn’t bring about any real change. Rich’s search for peace led him to Isaiah 53.
WHO IS REALLY WORTHY
“You can’t go to heaven because you’re Jewish,” Jennifer’s Catholic neighbors had told her. As an adult, despite a fun career of international travel with celebrities and musicians, she felt empty. She began to search for a new way of looking at life.
