Review Summary: Invaluable Resource on Biblical Holidays Date: 2008-11-08
 
Details: This wonderful book has been our most valuable standby for many years now. Next to my Bible, it is my most cherished and used homeschooling resource.

As Henry David Thoreau said,

"How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book. The book exists for us to perchance which will explain our miracles and reveal new ones. The at present unutterable things we may find somewhere uttered. These same questions that disturb and puzzle and confound us have in their turn occurred to all the wise men; not one has been omitted; and each has answered them according to his ability, by his word, and his life."

And so it has been with my reading of this most resourceful book by Robin... Finding it was truly a milestone and a beacon for our family. I've read it and drawn inspiration from it year after year...
 
Review Summary: A Good Start Date: 2008-10-07
 
Details: This is a very thorough book of the biblical holy days if you have never been introduced to them. I gave it only four stars because not all the holidays in the book are commanded to be observed by God. Two that are included are strictly Jewish in origin, and would not neccessarily apply to the children of Israel (God's chosen people), are Purim and Hanukkah. Purim is mentioned in the bible but not by God, just by the writer of one of the Old Testament books telling something that the people of that time did as ordered by their King and Queen, not by God. And Hanukkah didn't come about until many years after Jesus' death, resurrection, and ascention, being a man made holiday as well. While it's not bad to celebrate these if you're not Jewish, it would be like someone in another country celebrating America's Independence Day just because their ancestors were from the USA. The author did a good job explaining that the Holy Days are symbolic of God's plan for His followers and that anyone professing to be so should be honoring them the way He intended. I pray that the Spirit of God will be with any family embarking on these holy convocations that many today do not have the courage to celebrate.
 
Review Summary: Left Christianity Because they can't see past Christmas Date: 2008-08-04
 
Details: After learning the origins of secular Holidays, I am so ashamed of participating in this.When I was younger I remember making Easter baskets in Sunday school, I look back and wonder what was the church thinking after learning the truth. I have prayed and repented because I took everything granite as being truth. I should have known better. However we no longer celebrate these pagan holidays in our home. I one day told my children, "Sorry Kids were going back to our roots" I tossed our artificial tree in the dumpster along with the easter baskets, and anything pagan.

Of coarse my daughter a year later was really sad we didn't have a tree and I asked her what was more important," serving Nimrod or honoring God'?

Today my children love the true festivals especially the 8 days of Hanukkah gifts.

The Christian Church needs to wake up and realize this great error by allowing Paganism to come into The Lord's house.
This book is awesome and will guide you to the truth. If you buy it, please send a copy to your pastor and tell him it's time for the sleepy church to awake.

For know we joined a Messianic Church so we can go back to the truth.
I recommend this book highly!
 
Review Summary: Family Guide to Biblical Holidays Date: 2008-03-31
 
Details: Family Guide to Biblical Holidays is exactly what it's title claims to be...a family guide. I wish it had been available when my children were young, but with grandchildren arriving I may still have a chance. I wish there was a more adult version of this book, but there are other books on the same subject available and now that I have started with this one, they will be easier for me to comprehend. This year was a perfect example of why it is important for christians to understand Judaism and the roots of Christianity. Millions of Americans celebrated Easter (sounds like Ishtar, and not a bit like resurrection) and unknowingly
observed the crucifixion and resurrection on a pagan festival holiday for a fertility goddess named Ishtar. Ignorance is one thing, but once a person is armed with the knowledge of Truth, the difference between the teachings of men and the Will of God, they have an obligation to proclaim and declare the Truth. I will celebrate the crucifixion and resurrection at the time of Passover, as it was intended to be as ordained by God, not the emporer Constantine as Easter, (first sunday after the first full moon after the spring equionox). The Family Guide to Biblical Holidays answers many questions, and it proves you are never to old to learn.
 
Review Summary: Tremendous Guide to the Biblical Holy Days! Date: 2008-03-26
 
Details: Wow, just one word describes this book. It truly excited me to receive this wonderful scripturally based book on the Biblical Holidays.

The authors go in depth on each of G-d's Holy Feasts from the Sabbath to Passover to Yom Kippur. They provide an practical explanation on how these biblical feasts relate to the Christian life and how to enjoy and celebrate with one and all.

There are activities for the kids and recipes for those who like to eat. I am in the latter category.

This book really opens up the Appointed Times and show us all, in the simpliest of terms, what we are missing by not celebrating.

Trust me, buy this book, explore your Jewish roots, you will not regret it.
