Here is a blog which discusses Shapira's book (link).   Some interesting tidbits:
The deception here is slick! But if you look close enough you will see it! Not once does Itzhak Shapira say he was raised in an “Jewish Orthodox” home. What he does say is that he was raised in an “observant Saphardic” home.

What does that mean? What was he “observant” to?

He then goes on to say that he ” holds a full Rabbinic S’micha from the IAMCS”. Do you know what IAMCS is?

 It is certainly NOT a “Jewish Rabbinical School”. On the contrary! IAMCS is an online christian school where one can get a “paper certificate” that say’s rabbi on it. My real question is this. Why do these messianic christians try to use the authority that comes with being a genuine Orthodox Jewish Rabbi, deceitfully I might add, and then reject the very Rabbi’s he is pretending to be?!
