This was a wonderful book to start to understand the Biblical feasts of the Bible from a christian perspective! My friends and I got together after we finished reading it and want to start celebrating them as part of our homeschool to better understand the Bible and the second coming of Jesus!

Quick easy read, gives a very straightforward explanation and outline of each of the feasts. Will need to reread it several times I'm sure but a very good intro to the biblical feasts.

This book is a very simplistic overview to the Feast Days. I think the author could have done a better job of explaining some words or concepts for those that have no experience with this subject. For example: The author never explains to the audience why he switches from using Jesus to using Yeshua other than to put Jesus in parenthesis. Yeshua (Jesus). I think it would have been beneficial to have had a bit more explanation of certain things.

While I don't agree with everything in this book, it does have some good information.

If you're looking to learn more about the Jewish feasts themselves, this book is not for you.

While it does provide some basic information, this book is more focused on how modern-day Christians can adapt the feasts today. I've been making a study of High Feasts, and while I did learn a few things not included in other texts, this was mostly a disappointment.

I also severely chafed at the book's suggestions that while "repenting and turning to God," any sins against a wife can be mended with flowers and a card, while sins against a husband could be atoned by cooking him a nice meal. It was in grave danger of being chucked against the wall.

This appalling claim aside, there were some good ideas - and I appreciated the little tidbits about the feasts themselves that were (surprisingly) not in any of my other readings.

The Biblical Feasts

Well written and easy to read and follow. I learned many things, which I was not aware of and the importance of it all. I will be looking forward to celebrating the biblical feasts , reading the holy scriptures in the Torah, and reciting the prayers. Thank you for the guidance, as a Christian I want to better understand and to be able to celebrate these amazing biblical feasts along with other Christian and anyone who has not yet met our Yeshua (Jesus) and wants to know him. Blessings

I received this book for Christmas and I thought it would be an in-depth study of the Christian holidays. However after reading the first few pages, it mentioned more about the Torah and SOME New Testament readings. Now I personally am a New Testament reader so some of the Old Testament readings seem foreign to me. It is a good "layman's" guide for the Christian holidays. But in my opinion, it's catered to those of the Jewish faith because not every religion practices the Old Testament teachings of the Jewish faith every time or even every year.

This book is academically lacking and biblically untenable. The author argues that nothing about the keeping of the law has been altered under the New Covenant, and then process to describe traditions of men as the way that the law can be kept. At no point does he address the lack of a temple, priesthood, or sacrifice. How he could argue for a celebration of Passover or Day of Atonement that didn’t even address the lack of a lamb or sacrifice reveals the gross inconsistency in his own system. This book is one of several in a theological stream some call the Hebrew Roots movement.

A good introduction book on the topic of Biblical feasts for Christians. (Hence the name). Overall, it was interesting and we are considering that Christians should celebrate the feasts, just not sure how to go about it. This book give some background to the feast, and suggestions for how Christians should and can celebrate. Not to throw anyone off guard, the author refers to Jesus by His Hebrew name. (If that does happen to bother someone).

[Kelly · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a really nice, straightforward summary of how to celebrate the biblical festivals today according to Scripture and Jewish custom. I especially appreciated that the Hebrew recitations for the holidays were in accordance with a Messianic mindset. The only thing I wished for was more of a presentation of what Scripture says about celebrating the festivals but it was an easy to understand summary nonetheless.

Every Christian should Read This


Gives one a lot to think about. If Jesus' first followers were Jews, why shouldn't his Gentile followers be like them?

This book is an extremely basic overview. I am looking for more detailed explanations and information. I wouldn't recommend it.

[G.L. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good information for Christians that want to know God and where we stand today celebrating our Lord.

[Terry Murphy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good info on the feasts and how to relate to them as a Christian. Not especially deep, but easy to read.

[Brittany · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 stars. Some new info, some old.

[J. L. Kane · Rating 5 out of 5]

This has been both an interesting read and a great helper to our family in celebrating the Biblical feasts while keep our Savior at the center of it.
