 Examines Biblical Text, Customs, Prophetic & Theological Too April 15, 2005

If you have never studied the Old Testament Feasts, you might think they would make for dull study. I did for many years. But I have found this one of the most fascinating areas to study in the entire Bible! This book is a great place to begin.
This fine work is great for a general read or as a useful tool for Bible teachers. It is written from a solidly evangelical perspective, the kind of viewpoint we expect from the publisher, Friends of Israel. It is clear and thorough but not tedious. It describes the natue of the 7 Feasts of Leviticus as well as the Sabbath and the Minor Feasts.
The author begins with and always considers himself accountable to the Bible. Additionally he explains the Jewish customs and understanding of the Festivals, and then demonstrates how some of the aspects of the festivals foreshadow the Messiah or New Testament truths.
The volume is filled with Scripture references (and thus well documented) and takes a respectful approach toward the Jewish roots of our Chrisitan beliefs, as well as a belief that God has a future for the nation of Israel.
Lots of solid doctrine. The insights and implications of the Feasts are a fascinating read for anyone dedicated to understanding the faith of the Bible or growing deeper in the Lord.
My only gripe is that the author follows the traditional Jewish practice of lumping the first three Levitical feasts together: Passover, Unleavened Bread, and First Fruits (since they occur within the same week). Separate treatment would have been better in my view. But, all in all, a fine, faith-building volume!
A Real Feast of A Book March 14, 2007

I have read a number of books on the feasts. Each having information about the feasts the other books didn't include, I have enjoyed them all. This book was my favorite of them all. No, the feasts are not just some boring Old Testament stories. They are picutes of what the the Father (Yahweh is his Hebrew name) and his son, our Messiah, our doing throughout history. And the feasts aren't just for the Jewish people.
They are for those believers who have been grafted into spiritual Israel as well. So if you have been wanting to better understand the Old Testament passages of Scripture that describe the feasts, this book will certainly assist you in that goal.
 good, but not great January 24, 2010

It seems to be written by a traditional Christian, who does not believe that the Feasts are for the Gentile. It is written for educational purposes of what the Feasts are about for the Jews and is not for the Messianic Believer trying to learn why the Feasts apply to the Gentile Believer in Messiah Yeshua. It does contain historical background, practical application, and prophetic meaning, so it is good for learning about the Feasts, but he doesn't appear to believe that they are for the Gentile who has been grafted in. Kind of disappointing, but it is good for information.
