 The Best Book I Have Ever Seen on the Festivals
Reviewer: Lori
This
is the best book I have ever seen on the festivals.
It is done from the perspective that you are not
already knowledgeable about the festivals of God.
I t is also a very fast read and if you have children
is also has crafts and foods to make. It is well
worth every penny! I highly recommend this book.
In June of 98 I left my Baptist roots and began
the search God led me on to learn of his Biblical
holidays and wonderful plan for my life.
Our Families Favorite Holiday Book - EVER!
Reviewer: momof2cowgirls from United States
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 today's 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 return to Biblical rules, bar none. I would
highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone-
and I do all the time!
FANTASTIC!! Worth Every Cent!
Reviewer: Cindy
Thomas from TN
This
book is fantastic. Besides the great info on the
holidays, it's full of information every Christian
should know about the Jewish roots of Christianity.
Believers will be magnified and enriched. Its easy
to understand chapters give the history about each
holidays, how the Jews observe each holidays (the
author points out this is not always Biblical),
how Christians can celebrate each holidays with
lots of craft and activity pages for children. Much
more than I expected and well worth the price! I
have a few other books on the holidays and this
is my favorite!
Highly Recommended!

(The Friend) Learning Center

Customs of the Holiday Today, and Messianic
Significance of the Holiday in Light of Jesus/Yeshua.

Music, Health, Science, Math, Games, Field Trips,
Agriculture, and Industry ideas. Everything
you will need to tie your homeschool to the
Bible each day! Highly recommended!
This is the Book
Reviewer: D
Chastain, Georgia United States
For
those having limited experience with Jewish beliefs
this is a wonderful way to really get started. It's
all been researched and easily laid out so there
is limited Prep time and and you can move on the
holidays quickly and it's fun. I love being able
to tie my family's beliefs back to where they began
and teaching my children that our belief began with
the God's chosen people and is as real and meaningful
today. If you want to bring the origin of Christianity
into your home to study and practice this is the
book.
SUPER
Reviewer: Maureen Duthie, Waihola, Otago, New Zealand
I
was absolutely thrilled to receive a copy of A
Family Guide to the Biblical Holidays! You
have done so much work! Amazing. It looks super.
A Must Have!
Reviewer:Reader
from Anchorage, Alaska
A
must have! This is a fascinating book. It is an
excellent resource for those wanting to learn
about the biblical holidays and their significance
and reflection of Jesus! It has lots of info on
how to observe them and even projects and games
for kids. This book is a great investment and
I highly recommend it. I as a Baptist Christian
have had my eyes opened to a new understanding
that I was missing out on before because I didn't
understand the Jewishness of the Bible which makes
a great difference in Bible study once learned
about!

Best-Seller
Reviewer: Kathy Burns
At
the last [home school] convention in Michigan, A
Family Guide to the Biblical Holidays was one
of our best-sellers, topped only by Our Father
Abraham. Thanks for all the work you put into
creating the The Biblical Holidays. May HaShem bless
you and your family in all your endeavors! B'Shalom,
A Blessing
Reviewer: Sandi Lawrence
Just
yesterday I was again blessed by your "Family
Guide to the Biblical Holidays" book as
I pulled it out (once again) to get some ideas
for our upcoming Hannukah celebration. I recently
purchased your What
Your Child Needs to Know When"book, the
new edition, and am just now beginning to read
through it. Thank you for the quality materials
you have been publishing!! Thank you for being
a willing servant to help make materials available
that we can use to teach our children the FULL
scriptures about the one true living Elohim,
who is the same yesterday, today and forever!!
HE orders the steps of a righteous man. HE promises
us blessings when we choose the way of life,

Prolific
Writing on the Subject of our Hebraic roots
Reviewer: Becky
Jones
Robin,
I personally want to thank you for your prolific
writing on the subject of our Hebraic roots.
We've also been using the Biblical Holiday book
for 2 years now-probably purchased it shortly
after its publication. Discovering and walking
through the feasts is so fulfilling to a deep,
deep need within me-I can't explain it, but
am ever grateful for the work you've put into
all of these various editions you've published
that help us better understand our spiritual
heritage. So, with a grateful heart, have a
wonderful day with your loving family. We have
nine children and are so thankful for the privilege
to teach them at home-you've helped make my/our
job very satisfying. Blessings.
A Blessing
Reviewer: George Sadler
I
just wanted to write you a quick note to tell
what a blessing the "Family Guide Guide to
Biblical Holidays" is. God has commanded
that these festivals and holy day be celebrated
through all generations. Unfortunately, we Christians
have neglected to follow those instructions.
Even when we become aware that we should be
doing these things, it is an arduous task to
reference the procedures and customs. I have
been interested in this area of research for
several years and I am delighted that you have
provided such a accurate, insightful and imaginative
work to publication. I know it is Gods will
that we worship Him and celebrate what He has
done, His way. Your work provides the information
required to educate us. Thank you so very much
again. With love from your brother in Messiah
Yeshua.

Excellent Job...Easy-to-Understand
Reviewer: Dr. Ron Mosley,
author and Founder of the Arkansas Institute of
Holy Land Studies.
Many
books about the Holy Days have crossed my desk,
most with only an explanation of the New Testament
view. I was delighted
to see that A Family Guide to The Biblical
Holidays includes the historical purpose
and meaning of each holiday as well as the foreshadows
of Christ. The authors have done an excellent
job explaining each holiday to the fullest
in an easy-to-understand text.
These often overlooked teachings reveal
significant insights to the predominantly Jewish
early church.
Impressive Work
Reviewer: Dr. Marvin Wilson,
Professor and Chairman of Biblical and Theological
Studies at Gordon College, Wenham, MA and author
of Our
Father Abraham: Jewish Roots of the Christian
Faith
I
enthusiastically endorse this exceedingly creative
project! This family
guide is a Christian exploration of Biblical Holidays
adaptable for all ages. This
impressive work is visually attractive and scripturally
anchored. Here is a delightful
educational tool serious students will appreciate,
for it will provide them with a detailed understanding
of one of the foundational instructional pillars
of the earliest Jewish church. Explore wonderful
basic foundational truths that are found in the
only Bible the earliest church knew. The glossary
is a real asset.
Wealth of Information
Reviewer: Philologos
A
Family Guide to Biblical Holidays contains
a wealth of information for anyone desiring to
learn more about the Biblical Holidays and the
Hebrew roots of Christianity. A large format book,
(8"x11" and over an inch thick!), with
over 580 pages packed full of activities and information.
It is perfect for homeschoolers as it contains
many activities, games, coloring pages and even
some crossword puzzles and word searches. Many
of the activities are geared towards elementary
grade level children but there is plenty of information
here that all ages will find interesting as well
as enlightening. The authors do a wonderful job
of showing the Messianic fulfillment of the prophetic
aspects of these holidays. They also mention the
several different eschatological views without
endorsing a particular view. Included are all
sorts of teaching on the traditional ways of celebrating
the feasts including recipes, songs, etc. The
book is well planned and would be a great addition
to any homeschool curriculum and library.
One of the Best and Most Complete Resources
Reviewer: Donald Ratcliff, Ph.D.
A
Family Guide to the Biblical Holidays is
one of the best and most complete resources we
have found on messianic/Christian family-oriented
applications of the Jewish holidays.

Wonderful Book
Reviewer: Jennifer Pepito,
The Old Schoolhouse™ Magazine
While
researching ways to make our holidays more God-centered
we were referred to a wonderful book. A
Family Guide To The Biblical Holidays,
by Robin Sampson and Linda Peirce is a wonderful
volume which details the Old Testament feasts
and festivals and gives your family the tools
to celebrate them. It is so thorough I was amazed!
They propose that by keeping the Biblical holidays
we will teach our children about " The
historical events of the Bible, Prophetic events
yet to come, God's plan of salvation and the
life and ministry of our Saviour Jesus Christ."
I found in reading through the book and implementing
it that their claims are valid. The
book is organized into seven sections, first
an overview of the holidays, then a chapter
chock-full of crafts and activities to use in
your celebrations, next are chapters divided
by seasons with the information for each holiday
in that season and finally a section devoted
to making the Sabbath a true day of rest as
well a special homeschool section. Our first
experience with the manual was to celebrate
Passover. The chapter fantastically details
how to prepare for Passover, the Christian significance
of each of the Passover symbols and includes
a wonderful booklet to be copied and provided
for each guest at your Seder. The booklet was
so helpful as it gave step by step instructions
and a script to make your Passover a truly inspiring
time. I was so blessed as we dwelt on God's
faithfulness, first to the Israelites and then
to all of us through Christ's death and resurrection.
Our children were equally thrilled as they helped
to make the table special and then laughed with
glee as they searched for the Afikomen.
If
a family wanted to incorporate the experience
into their school day, the Home School section
enables you to do it - it is brimming with interesting
ideas and learning opportunities. The unit study
on lambs had information on anatomy, ideas for
learning about the role of the lamb in history
and geography, language arts activities and
a list of resources. Each of the Units are equally
thorough, providing, through this book, a great
family faith-building tool and also a very complete
curriculum resource.

One day a man was reading the
Book of Wisdom. He came across a little known
chapter that told about the King's appointed
times each year: special times for celebrations
to tell the stories of His deeds to the people's
children and to glorify the King. He was so
excited! He went to tell the people about the
wonderful celebrations. This made the people
very angry. They felt that the man was condemning
them for traditions that they had innocently
done all their lives. They did not understand. 
The man and his family learned
that the King had special secrets that revealed
foreshadows of more fine things the King was
planning to do for them. That man wanted so
much to share these stories with others. Even
though the man was continually rejected, he
continued to tell about the King's celebrations.
After a while, a few other families (who had
always felt uncomfortable about the annual parties
they kept) listened to the man. They read the
chapter in the Book of Wisdom and also got excited.
