God's Appointed Times: Discovering God's Truths Revealed in Jewish Festivals

Most Christians assume that the Jewish festivals are mere human inventions-but in fact, they're celebrations established by God that teach us important truths about our relationship with Him.

Followers of Christ tend to guard Christmas and Easter jealously as the two most sacred days to remember and celebrate Jesus. Though these holidays can fuel your imagination and ignite your worship, they were never instituted by God. In the Old Testament, God appointed seven specific times when the ancient Israelites were to hold feasts or festivals. These appointed times continue to reveal deeper meaning into the Person and gospel of Jesus Christ to any who would believe.

Dr. Christopher Leonard, the author of God's Appointed Times and Freed to Obey, was a beloved shepherd to the three churches he pastored. In 2017, he was pastoring Community Church of Fish Creek in Wisconsin when God unexpectedly called him home. He left behind a beautiful legacy of loving people and of helping connect them to the Savior he loved most of all.

In Dr. Leonard's comprehensive yet accessible study of ancient Israel's God-appointed celebrations, you will learn:

- Key events from Israel's history that God wanted His people to commemorate

- Insights into God's prophetic calendar-both past and future

- The significance of Jesus' teaching during the times He observed these sacred days

- The importance of each of these feasts and festivals for the Christian today

- How each of these appointed times points directly to Jesus Himself

Each chapter concludes with thought-provoking questions and a suggested action step to help you apply these truths to your own life and relationship with God.

Are you ready to enrich your spiritual journey, to begin deeply significant traditions in your family, or to lead your church to a better understanding of how to integrate the Old and New Testaments?
