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

Rating:
Summary: Deceptively thin, it's full of helpful, relevant info.
Review: 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.

Rating:
Summary: it not only informs, but inspires - to the utmost.
Review: 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!

Summary: The relavance of Judaic customs in the New Testament
Review: This book presents a nice, non-combative approach in trying to teach modern Christianity the relavance and wonderful symbolism found in the modern day Judaic customs. It even gives a practical guide for those who want to try these traditions themselves to have an instructional tradition for their descendants. I thought this book did a good job relating modern observance to New Testament times. I know that the next time I read the passages mentioned, I'll have a better understanding of the context surrounding the actions of Christ and the apostles. This book is very easy to read and structured for even the most elementary student of New Testament history.
