"The pattern of promise, death, and resurrection is pervasive. This [book] will inspire people to persevere in the hard times."

Tikkun Ministries International
"This book will keep you on the edge of your seat. So much of it could be fact in the world as we know it today. A great book with a twist. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves, politics mixed with science fiction...Or is it."

“In his book, ‘Oy! How Did I Get Here?’ Tokajer shares a lifetime of valuable advice that will increase any congregational leader’s effectiveness several-fold and keep him from a multitude (thirty-one to be exact) of errors. It’s written with humor and humility, and the life examples are outstanding, I recommend it for everyone involved in congregational ministry or any leadership role.”
- Rabbi Michael Wolf
Author
Eric Tokajer's slim volume is most aptly titled: #manwisdom. This collection of sayings for men reflects the biblical meaning of wisdom as factual knowledge plus an understanding of how to put it to use. They are sharp, insightful . . . and eminently practical. Here's one example that I'll be sharing in my work as a rabbi and counselor: 'Listening to your wife when she speaks will dramatically increase the chances of your understanding what she is trying to tell you.' Pithy, with a dash of sarcasm, and the ring of truth. #manwisdom is loaded with examples like these. Men, here's a book you need!

"This book gives unique insight into the meaning of certain thoughts and ideas in the Hebrew Scriptures and who our Messiah really is. If you're looking for something different, then buy this book."

"Everybody knows that a person's last 'Will and Testament' is a telling document. Contained therein are our last words, our will for the placement of our assets and our hopes for the succeeding generation. Everybody knows that. What most don't know is that Yeshua/Jesus similarly gave voice to His last Will in His testament. Here, Tokajer explores His final words. Read on, and consider if there may be a word for you."

"There is a nugget of wisdom in each section.... an easy read that
touches your heart and lets
you see more of God's
character and His love for us."

Amazon Review
"I love to read, but time is limited. It took me awhile to get started on this book, but once I did, I was hooked. I think it is very cleverly written. I loved the different characters, which at first did not seem to have much connection with each other, but it/they all came together with a shocking ending. I cannot wait for the sequel(s). This is one of those books that could go on as long as the author wants it to."

Amazon Review
“Though it’s good to learn from our mistakes, it’s even better to learn from somebody else’s - especially if that other person is successful, despite their mistakes. Tokajer brings to the table years of experience pioneering and guiding congregations and satellite congregations. His no-nonsense approach makes sense,
and is a must-read for every congregational leader who wants to grow personally
and professionally.”

"Eric’s #Manwisdom is helping put a lot of things in perspective. I so much appreciate the clear messages about how to love and understand our wives and as well as other people around us. Lately, I have been reading it together with my sons, and
highly recommend the book to any man
who wants to grow in Godly wisdom!
- Dr. Greg Silverman,

"Tokajer is an excellent author. His ability to communicate Biblical topics and make them easy to understand is a rare thing. This book is a MUST when trying to learn more about how culture affects our understanding of the Bible."
- Rabbi Mark Greenberg
Chairman of the TLV Bible Society
"The patterns in the Scriptures are both frequent and fascinating for those who look closely enough to find them. Tokajer uses a personal life story to draw us into the life-long exercise for the answer to life's perpetual question... 'why?' Indeed, he admits early on that he may raise more questions than answers, but he also suggests that the quest for the answer may be hidden in the patterns. In fact, the chapters conclude with several probing questions which ask you to pause and consider deeply what you think and feel about what you just read; almost like a spiritual workbook. I found this book to be provoking and then personal, causing me to reflect and ask the question... 'Why?'

"If you like Dr. Who and Star Trek then you'll love this book! A fascinating novel about time travel and changing history! The book is well written and an easy read. I look forward to the sequels!"

"I read this little book on an airplane ride home. It is written by a fruitful Messianic leader who lives out the value of relational leadership with a real commitment to the welfare of the people he serves. There is a lot of theological depth underneath the surface of this book, even though it is written in a very down-to-earth way. I perceive it to be a handbook of wisdom
for success and longevity in
ministry leadership."

"Tokajer shares some profound and practical insights from the story of the crucifixion. Jewels of wisdom that will help you grow in your faith!"
- Jonathan Bernis,

"I recommend this book to anyone who desires to go deeper in their understanding of the Hebrew Scriptures.
Tokajer displays a gift for
teaching the profound in a
simple fashion."
- Hayes,
Amazon Review
"For anyone who is considering ministry at any level or for one who is already there this simple yet truthful book should indeed be in your library. A wise man learns from his own mistakes but an even wiser one learns from the mistakes of others. With quick wit, humor and candor, Tokajer lays out for us very practical advice, insight, and truths that many leaders no matter what denomination, would not be likely to reveal, fearing insecurity and possible rejection. Going against the grain, this is precisely why this author can be trusted! This book is well worth the price."
- David,
Amazon Review
"I found [this book] to be filled with sound and eye-opening Biblical insights. Tokajers shares a powerful five-part pattern based on his analysis of the conversation between Yeshua and the thief present at Yeshua's sacrifice. As he unfolds this pattern, the reader will discover life-changing keys to walking in the blessings of
God. I highly recommend, '
With Me in Paradise'."
- Michael Wolf,
Author
"This is a 'must read' experience that is saved for the creative and bold. Tokajer is not only a bright and innovative teacher and student of life but still, even after all these years, rocks and touches us all in the heart!"
- Jonathan Settel
"An honest look at how often our culture influences our faith when we don't realize it. Grabbed my interest quickly!"
