Praise for I Am Cyrus
The greatest proof that there is a God and that the Bible is His Word is the nation of Israel and the Jews. I Am Cyrus will allow anyone to never doubt God and the Bible again.
~ Sid Roth
Host, Its Supernatural!
I Am Cyrus is a detailed, inspiring read for anyone interested in learning about the historical scope of the Zionist enterprise: the suffering that went into its creation, the stubborn determination to make a miracle of a barren land, and the wonder of a tiny nation surrounded by implacable enemies that has become a beacon of light to nations greater in size. Its truly amazing.
Craig von Buseck must be applauded for his well-stocked and researched book. A must read for everyone interested in learning more about the Jewish State of Israel.

In I Am Cyrus, Craig von Buseck takes us behind the scenes into one of the greatest dramas in the past 2,000 yearsthe miracle story of Israels rebirth. His meticulous research captures the drama, intrigue, and high-stakes history when Israels fate hung in the balance. He shines an historical spotlight on Harry S. Truman, a man for his times, and also chronicles the amazing men and women such as David Ben-Gurion, Golda Meir, and Trumans best friend, Eddie Jacobsonmen and women who played their part in history and who were born for such a time as this. I highly recommend von Busecks book as a rich addition to ones understanding of the times when prophecy came alive and a nation was born in a day.

What an amazing storyall of it true! The book reads like a novel, but it is well researched and carefully documented, giving the background to the miracle of modern Israel and the unique role played by President Harry Truman, the Cyrus of his day. What a timely and enjoyable read.

I truly believe Gods heart for Israel and the rebirth of His promises are powerfully revealed in this book, beyond my expectations. As a former Muslim, who was born and raised in the Middle East for the first twenty-five years of my life, I couldnt find a better source to make me understand the divine purpose of the Messiah for Israel.
While I was reading this powerful book, my heart was enlarged in a supernatural way and came into alignment and agreement with the sovereign will of God for the rebirth of Israel. I even felt like shouting my excitement. Im in awe of how the Holy Spirit led each and every pen stroke to create such a masterpiece. Im very grateful for this books guidance and impact on my heart and life. I strongly recommend that every Christian who wants to know the truth about Israel and Gods divine plan for its rebirth read this book.

This book is a powerful read. I simply devoured its pages. Frankly, it captured my interest in a huge way, like few other books. While I thought I knew some things about the state of Israel, I found many gaps in my knowledge.
This is a profound book. I cant wait to tell my friends to read it.

The account of how the nation of Israel came to be is one of the most fascinating stories in human history. God has never turned His back on His chosen people, and He always surprises us with how His promises to them are fulfilled. From pagan ancient kings to modern American presidents, God continues to bless the Jews. Read this book and be reminded that God does and always will intercede in the affairs of mankind. May you join the ever-increasing ranks of those who will continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

The miraculous rebirth of Israel in 1948 was a pivotal moment not only in modern history but also in the history of the world. I Am Cyrus: Harry S. Truman and the Rebirth of Israel is the fascinating inside story of how God chose a Bible-believing farm boy from Missouri as His unlikely point man to make it all happen. In gripping detail, Dr. Craig von Buseck lays out President Harry Trumans journey from wartime president to modern-day Cyrus and the enduring special relationship between the United States and Israel that he helped spark. I Am Cyrus is an absolute must-read book for anyone who wants to know more about the prophetic times that we are living in and why Israel isand always will beat the center of Gods divine plan.

The birth of Israel is one of the greatest miracles of modern times, and in I Am Cyrus: Harry S. Truman and the Rebirth of Israel, Craig von Buseck shows us how God put all the right people in place at the right time, including an American president, to pull off the impossible. A thrilling read!

During the signing ceremony at the White House following President Trumps proclamation recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, Prime Minister Netanyahu established the historical significance of the Golan decision. In the long sweep of Jewish history, declared the prime minister, there have been a handful of proclamations by non-Jewish leaders on behalf of our people and our land: Cyrus the Great, the great Persian king; Lord Balfour; President Harry S. Truman; and President Donald J. Trump.
