The Word in the Wilderness: In the Window: The Simple Series The Old Testament Tabernacle and Finding Yourself Within It

by Jana Abercrombie-Abbott

Encompassing countless chapters of Old Testament Scripture, the
tabernacle is often considered an unnecessarily descriptive and
archaic historic and architectural oddity. Yet God saw fit to give
us these descriptions, to build this story, to construct this theme
that would prove so central in the lives of God’s chosen people. He
wastes nothing. His purposes in this structure and all its many
details are pertinent to us, to you. There is meaning and beauty
and a distinct, passionate, life changing, spirit combusting, and
soul gratifying word for us in the tabernacle. God was thorough
and comprehensive; we owe it to the sanctity of His Word to settle
ourselves before this ancient structure and find His purpose and
passion in it. Find Him in it. Find ourselves in it. Find hope
and direction, mercy, faith, and life in it. See the story begin,
watch the building arise upon the desert landscape, envision the
laborers finding their place within its walls, and discover a sense
of belonging as you journey from its ancient beginnings to your
own life’s purpose.

This is Jana’s second book, and after reading her first book and loving it, I was very excited to dig in. It did not disappoint! Jana’s knowledge and insight often open up a whole new perspective for me on the topics of Scripture and A Word in the Wilderness did the same. I love how Jana points out the pictures and meanings in the intricate details of the tabernacle and its furnishings, as well as how she weaves the different characteristics of God into every chapter. She has beautifully reminded me of how much He desires to dwell with man, and in so doing, made me thirsty to know Him better.
