Book Reviews of A Family Guide to the Biblical Holidays
Book Review: Our Families Favorite Holiday Book - EVER!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a fabulous find! It begins by telling a semi-humerous but perfectly true short story about how we were 'hoodwinked'(my words, not the author's) by a ruler (this was Constantine) into discarding the Biblical holidays - they are NOT Jewish holidays, they are always referred in the Bible as "MY(God's)Festivals" - and taking on the pagan holidays of those around them. Then it goes on to show how we can and should be doing the Lord's festivals and why. What they are foreshadowings of.It covers all the festivals, including Hanukkah and Purim. It gives background info and then moves on into todays ways of celebrating and what each festival is representative of. This wonderful guide even goes into explaining the differences in interpretation on the Fall Holidays, which have not even been fulfilled yet by God, and how there are 3 views of order:pre-trib, post-trib. and mid-trib. You can adapt it to fit your families belief.
For homeschoolers, there is a section on each festival for you to do a unit study on, and great charts to assist in this.
Crafts, games, and things to do are also included which can be copied and traced, etc.
The back section has a question and answer session on the most commonly asked questions by people new to this. Both those trying to understand and those who want to know how to explain it to their family and friends.
Everything is covered in easy to comprehend details and although it is large, it is quite easy to read and learn from. The only thing not in this comprehensive book of festivals are some of the wonderful prayers said worldwide during these festivals, but one can find those in many other places.
That said - this is hands down our families most favorite holiday book(and we have purchased at least 12)of all time. I think the opening short story is one of the most clever things I've ever read to explain this phenomenon of the reurn to Biblical rules, bar none. I would highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone- and I do all the time!
