From the Back Cover

“He who has not beheld this celebration has never seen joy in his life!”                                                                                                            —the Talmud  A bicyclist in today’s Israel riding with branches sticking out of his backpack . . . giant candelabras in the Temple, lighting up all of Jerusalem in Jesus’ time . . . Jesus calling out, “I am the Light of the world!” . . . Israelites putting up temporary shelters, or booths, as a symbol of the transience of life . . . have all been part of the joyful Feast of Tabernacles, which has been celebrated for thousands of years. Christ in the Feast of Tabernacles will captivate you with its rich imagery of this great festival. From its origins of being celebrated with temporary shelters to modern day observances and even its meaning for heaven, you’ll be enriched by this fascinating account.  It is a joy to commend David Brickner's excellent book on the Festival of Tabernacles in the cycle of the seven holy days described in Leviticus 23.  Many will be surprised to learn how significant this Feast was in the life of our Lord and what a major part it plays in God's work of the end times. This book will open up whole new vistas for many readers of the Bible.
 
Dr. Walter C. Kaiser, Jr.
President Emeritus, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary As Christians, we cannot understand our faith unless we understand the Jewish roots from which it springs. For example, all the feasts of Israel were designed by God specifically to teach us fundamental truths about the Lord Jesus and his work and ministry on our behalf. David Brickner has done a marvelous job of explaining these great spiritual truths to us in his book, Christ in the Feast of Tabernacles. It is a must reading for every serious student of the Word of God.

Dr. Lon Solomon, Senior Pastor, McLean Bible Church, McLean, VA. If you find boring and meaningless that long discussion of an ancient Jewish festival, here's a book that will change your mind while it blesses your heart.  You may not agree with all the details of Brickner's typology, but you will appreciate, as I did, the spiritual insights he draws from this ancient Jewish festival.
