Hey everybody! 
I am coming to you all for advice.
My wife has a very dear friend (they've been friends for over 20 years), and this friend is going through some difficult times. She is severely depressed about her life and about having wasted 9 years in a relationship (not marriage) with Mr. Wrong.
She feels abandoned by G-d, but she is open to hearing why she should be encouarged. She is also kind of open to the idea of hearing about Yeshua. She is (secular) Jewish and feels very apprehensive about betraying her family and her Jewishness by investigating Yeshua.
We would like to send her a book or other resource which will encourage her about G-d's love for her and how she can be happy by following G-d's word, and also about how it can be Jewish to accept Yeshua. This may need to be 2 different books.
I appreciate your input and recommendations.
b'Shalom
Tribe

I would also recommend Yeshua: A Guide to the Real Jesus and the Original Church by Ron Moseley. I've heard good things about Jesus the Jewish Theologian by Brad Young, and I actually have the book, I just haven't gotten around to reading it yet.

If you had to recommend only one, which one would it be?
