PART ONE: Heart Talks
	Prologue
	CHAPTER ONE: Frequently Asked Questions
		Why Aramaic? I thought Jesus spoke Hebrew or Greek.
		Why consider Jesus's sayings in this language, much less use them in prayer or meditation?
		But weren't all the original Gospels written in Greek? Are you translating backwards from Greek to Aramaic? If not, what manuscript are you using?
		How can one Aramaic word have so many different meanings? Isn't there a simple, “literal” translation you can give?
		You mentioned the name Alaha. What did Jesus mean when he talked about “God”? Was it a personal God or an impersonal one?
		If all was connected, how and why did Jesus pray?
		Are the contemplations you include in the book modern innovations?
		Did Yeshua really exist? What about the “historical Jesus” research?
