Celebrating Biblical Feasts: In Your Home or Church

Incredible book! Such a great way to find a way to fit Old Testament traditions into the new covenant! Highly recommend.

We love this book so much. Excellent and simple way to incorpate Jewish celebrations ordained by God into a Christian faith.

This is a great book on how to incorporate Sabbath, Passover, and other Jewish festivals into your Christian home. Easy to read, with a wealth of information from recipes to crafts to history, this book will help anyone easily bring the riches of old Testament traditions into their home.

Good summary of information. More and more churches are now celebrating Passover Seder, this will provide good preparation materials, and explanation all seven major feasts. These are God's feasts. These are His appointments for us to celebrate, not because we have to, but we should want to. You'll find the Messiah in these feasts! Some think they are Jewish feasts, some want them to be Christian, God says in scripture, "these are My feasts."

In the Old Testament, we find that God ordained special days of feasting and celebrating for the Israelites. These were days for the people to come together for rest and refreshment and to glorify Him.In reading through Exodus and Deuteronomy we learn that by observing these special days, the Israelites would never forget how God had provided for them in the dessert and continued to provide with bountiful harvests after He delivered them from slavery. They were reminded, with each celebration, that they were to leave their old ways of life behind and live a new life with Him. With every celebration they renewed their commitment and trust in the Almighty God. In studying the New Testament, we find Jesus also observed these God ordained holidays.As Christians in our modern world, I think that we would do well in observing some of these traditional Jewish celebrations, renewing our commitment and giving glory to God for His deliverance and care.That's why I found the book "Celebrating Biblical Feasts" by Martha Zimmerman, intriguing.In her book, Ms Zimmerman shows the significance of the ancient feasts from a New Testament perspective. She includes step-by-step guides for the celebration of seven feasts ordained in the Old Testament.The SabbathThe PassoverThe OmerShavuothRosh HashanahYom KippurSukkothIncluded are recipes for traditional Jewish dishes that give an authentic flavor to the celebration and fun activities for family members bringing home the deeper meaning and the reason for celebration.The book "Celebrating Biblical Feasts" is an effective teaching tool for Biblical truths, more than simply a Sunday school lesson, but as a way of life in the home. In observing these celebrations we can give God the glory He deserves and perhaps we will remember to look forward to one more glorious feast that is yet to come --described in Revelation 19:6-9..."Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!"

We have had this book and it is a wonderful way for family prayer. I bought this book as a gift

I do not know many people who keep the Biblical feasts, so I love reading the author's ideas on how her family keeps them. Her ideas are easy to adapt for families that have both older and younger kids.

I love this book. It gets looked at frequently. I used it this fall to get through all the feasts and it was a big help. It is very accessible and not too overwhelming. We were able to try many of the things suggested by the author. Would heartily recommend this book!

It was revealing and helpful with good ideas for celebrating the Feast Days. Thank you to the Author for sharing your personal experiences.

Very interesting and detailed account of the Feasts, what they mean and how to celebrate them. Informative and a good read.

Helpful for me, a non Jew to try to understand more about the feasts.

This is addressed to Christians wanting to incorporate the Jewish traditions in their church. As such it is helpful but it is not a reference for Judaism
