Description: Are the biblical/Jewish customs just for Jews? Or can Christians also receive blessings by observing them? This book explains how God’s appointed customs can be part of anyone’s lifestyle, Jew or Gentile. This is especially relevant to believers in the Messiah, since Yeshua (Jesus) himself observed them. God’s Appointed Customs is divided into two sections, Biblical Lifecycle and Biblical Lifestyle. Each chapter offers historical background, traditional Jewish observance, relevance to the New Testament, and a practical guide to help believers observe these customs within the context of a biblical lifestyle.

Review Summary: Helping this Christian connect to the Jewishness of my Faith.
Date: 2008-10-29
Details: I have been studying the Old Testament in Bible studies a lot the last 10 years and I keep having the same questions about the Festivals and observances that God set up that He said are to be EVERLASTING. Yet we as Christians do not do them.
I understand that Christianity is the fullfillment of Judism and at a heart and soul level have had the need to understand more about my Jewish roots thru Yeshua.
This book is making that connection for me and seeing that it is okay to observe these feasts and connect them to what they mean in the New Testament. This is a wonderful easy to understand book that will help you if like me you have this longing to connect more to how Jesus worshiped and what the early first chruch was like.
Review Summary: Great book
Date: 2007-10-01
Details: Great refresher course for the basis' behind the NT. Terrific for better understanding the Jewish foundation of Christianity as practiced by Yeshua.
Review Summary: The relavance of Judaic customs in the New Testament
Date: 2001-06-30
Details: This book presents a nice, non-combative approach in trying to teach modern Christianity the relavance and wonderful symbolism found in the modern day Judaic customs. It even gives a practical guide for those who want to try these traditions themselves to have an instructional tradition for their descendants. I thought this book did a good job relating modern observance to New Testament times. I know that the next time I read the passages mentioned, I'll have a better understanding of the context surrounding the actions of Christ and the apostles. This book is very easy to read and structured for even the most elementary student of New Testament history.
Review Summary: it not only informs, but inspires - to the utmost.
Date: 2000-04-16
Details: The companion book to "God's Appointed Times" by the same author, is just as fascinating as it's predecesor. After reading it, a Gentile believer in Yeshua Ha Meshiach may wonder how he understood anything in the Bible at all before this. Understanding the Jewish background to the Old and New Testaments can make a world of difference. The reader will be delighted to have a resource that not only informs, but inspires - to the utmost. The author relates the customs to specific events in the scriptures so that we become aware of what was happening, but the main focus is the spritual significance which will really make your spirit soar. All the Hebrew prayers are transliterated and translated, which further helps to connect us with our Jewish roots, and immerse us into the culture. This is a great book!
Review Summary: Deceptively thin, it's full of helpful, relevant info.
Date: 1999-01-16
Details: Anyone wishing to better understand the biblical Jewish customs of lifecycles and faith would do well to read this book. It is an easy to use and interesting reference, opening the eyes of the reader to material often neglected, forgotten, or discounted. Good - and recommended - for any Christian, but especially for leaders and Sunday School teachers.
