The Importance of Being Ernest

by Mike Moore

Published 21 September 2003

Ernest Lloyd's life spans almost the entire twentieth century. At the age of six he was placed in the care of the Naomi Children's Home run by the Barbican Mission to the Jews and in his teens he came to faith in Jesus as his Messiah.

At the age of twenty he became a missionary with the British Jews Society and for seventy years he has travelled the globe as a missionary to his own people and as an ambassador of Jewish mission. He has also played a major role in the birth and growth of the modern Messianic Jewish movement. The book chronicles the important role Ernest played in Jewish mission during the twentieth century and how, through his ministry, many Jews and Gentiles, including entire families, have come to know the Messiah. The book also provides insights into Jewish life, culture and religion.
