Let Us Draw Near

by Judson Cornwall

Joshua probably needed to take a wife to help him mature further, Moses thought. His wife Zipporoah had certainly been a tool of God to aid in his own maturation. "You'll join us for breakfast, won't you? Zipporoah asked Joshua as she stepped into the tent. "That's the best offer I've had today," Joshua responded. "Besides no one in Israel can fix manna better than you." Zipporoah recognized the flattery, but liked it. Moses was loving and gracious but since he had met God at the burning bush, he always seemed to be preoccupied and extremely serious... In such lightness and vividness, Judson Cornwall takes us on a tour of the tabernacle that Moses built in the wilderness. A tour that reveals more than tents and altars, a tour that reveals Christ Himself the tabernacle of our salvation.

Cringy. Some helpful and stimulating tidbits. Not the best book. Wacko/borderline heterodox epilogue. But the funniest excerpt is when New Testament “saint” and Moses converse about the mercy seat: “saint” likens the ark’s lid to John Glenn’s spacecraft, and Moses retorts, “Frankly I don’t know what you are talking about” (155).

Overall it was interesting. The author tries to tie in cultural references in almost every chapter but if you skip over those parts then it’s a decent book.

Great book on worship...breaks down the Wilderness Tabernacle of the Old Testament and how it relates to New Testament worship!

This book talks about the symbolism in the O.T. temple. A lot of it is told in a narrative between Moses and various others characters. It was very interesting.
