God's Appointed Customs: A Messianic Jewish Guide to the Biblical Lifecycle and Lifestyle

I have been studying the Old Testament in Bible studies a lot the last 10 years and I keep having the same questions about the Festivals and observances that God set up that He said are to be EVERLASTING. Yet we as Christians do not do them. I understand that Christianity is the fullfillment of Judism and at a heart and soul level have had the need to understand more about my Jewish roots thru Yeshua. This book is making that connection for me and seeing that it is okay to observe these feasts and connect them to what they mean in the New Testament. This is a wonderful easy to understand book that will help you if like me you have this longing to connect more to how Jesus worshiped and what the early first chruch was like.

The companion book to "God's Appointed Times" by the same author, is just as fascinating as it's predecesor. After reading it, a Gentile believer in Yeshua Ha Meshiach may wonder how he understood anything in the Bible at all before this. Understanding the Jewish background to the Old and New Testaments can make a world of difference. The reader will be delighted to have a resource that not only informs, but inspires - to the utmost. The author relates the customs to specific events in the scriptures so that we become aware of what was happening, but the main focus is the spritual significance which will really make your spirit soar. All the Hebrew prayers are transliterated and translated, which further helps to connect us with our Jewish roots, and immerse us into the culture. This is a great book!

Anyone wishing to better understand the biblical Jewish customs of lifecycles and faith would do well to read this book. It is an easy to use and interesting reference, opening the eyes of the reader to material often neglected, forgotten, or discounted. Good - and recommended - for any Christian, but especially for leaders and Sunday School teachers.
