There are several people I would like to thank in making this project a reality. Christy Wilkerson was the first to read this manuscript, and alerted me to the fact that it needed work. Pastor Ed Crenshaw added some great insights that I had missed. Wende Carr, living in Beirut, also did a great job of editing and would often send, with her edits, notes of encouragement that she felt that this book was going to have an impact.

However, one person stands out. Susette McLachlan from New Zealand put almost as much time and dedication into this book as I did. She volunteered to edit
Identity Theft
and I don’t think she fully understood how deeply she would get involved. This is a better book because of her hard work. She would sometimes stay up all night working on it. Thank you, Susette!

I want to also thank my daughter Danielle who, from the first time she understood I was writing a new book, never stopped encouraging me and showing interest.

Dr. Daniel C. Juster and Dr. Michael L. Brown, both scholars, authors, and personal mentors to me, made valuable contributions in helping me to present what I believe is an accurate portrayal of the first century believers.

I wish to thank Ari and Shira Sorko-Ram who have graciously given me a platform to share my heart through Maoz Israel.

And I would be remiss not to acknowledge the sacrifice of my sweet Israeli wife, Elana. When I made the decision to rewrite this book as a novel instead of a teaching, I had to get it done in a matter of weeks. I disappeared—physically and emotionally. Even during a ministry trip to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, Elana was often out sightseeing by herself, while I was confined to my hotel room with my MacBook Air. Thank you, sweetheart, for being so patient and understanding. I promise to take you somewhere amazing just as soon this book hits the printing press! I love you!

Lastly, I want to mention my Hero, my Champion, my Source of encouragement and creativity, Yeshua the Messiah, who pursued me when I had no regard for eternity.
Identity Theft
is His story.

Messianic Jewish Communicator Ron Cantor embraced Yeshua as an 18-year-old, drug-using agnostic. He then attended CFNI in New York, and Messiah Biblical Institute where Ron received his degree. Ron served on the pastoral team at Beth Messiah Congregation in Rockville, Maryland, before heading overseas to Ukraine and Hungary where he and his wife, Elana, trained nationals for Jewish ministry. Ron then served on the faculty of the Brownsville Revival school of Ministry teaching and mentoring young leaders.

Ron travels throughout the U.S. and abroad sharing passionately on the Jewish roots of the New Testament and God’s broken heart for His ancient people Israel. Ron has been privileged to take the Jewish roots message to Brazil, Ukraine, Switzerland, France, Russia, Hungary, Israel, Germany, Argentina, and most recently to Uganda and Nigeria.

In June 2003, Ron and Elana returned with their three children to the Land of Israel where they now live and minister. During this time, Ron has served as the associate leader of King of Kings Community in Jerusalem, as well as the interim senior leader. Ron heads the Isaiah 2 Initiative, an Israelibased vision to see the Good News go forth from Zion to other nations. In their trips to Nigeria and Ukraine they have seen tens of thousands of people profess faith in Yeshua.

Ron also serves with Maoz Israel, blogging and making informative videos about life in Israel. He and Elana are part of the leadership team at Tiferet Yeshua, a Hebrew-speaking congregation in the heart of Tel Aviv. They have three daughters, Sharon, Yael, and Danielle.
