Live Your Festive Heritage: A Jewish Holiday Handbook for the Christian

This book is written for all believers who enjoy exploring the Word of God, embracing new insights, and experiencing more of our Creator.

With an extensive background in Christian and Jewish study, Dr. Betham-Lang takes you through a discovery of Jewish holidays and ignites a passionate understanding of how Judaism and Christianity are more closely related that you might imagine. An accurate understanding of Christianity relies upon one’s understanding of the Jewish culture and the Semitic theology of the Church’s foundations. This includes, to a very great extent, the holidays and feasts of the Bible.

Often ignored in Christian circles, these holidays are unwrapped gifts free for the taking. They compliment and enhance the Christian interpretation and understanding of the world’s Redeemer. This valuable resource observes the New and Old Testament in celebrating God’s love. Dr. Betham-Lang explains Jewish holidays, provides recipes for observing them, and inspires an appreciation for the deep connection of Christianity to its roots in Judaism.

You have been chosen by God to make joyous holiday appointments with Him! If you are seeking a resource with which to explore your heritage and understand the impact of Judaism on Christian living, look no further than LIVE Your Festive Heritage by Dr. Jen Marik Betham-Lang. Don’t miss another celebration!

Living the Great Commission: His Grace is More than Sufficient

“All authority in Heaven and on Earth has been given to Me.”

The Great Commission that follows this passage is an invitation for you to participate and revel in the joy of His power. Jesus holds all authority, and He wants to include you in His mission. What can you do to be included in His mission and why should you be enabled to catch a vision of His glory? Because His Grace is sufficient far beyond your personal salvation unto the expansion of His Kingdom.

You may, like many Christians, suffer from an incomplete view of God’s Grace. Perhaps you don’t actually believe it is sufficient to live out the Great Commission in your own mission field, which has led to an anemic lifestyle that fall short of His Glory. Join Carlos and Liliana Llambes, two missionaries active in the field, as they provide insight and food for thought on the total sufficiency of God’s Grace – particularly in recognizing that it applies to you living the Great Commission. Use the questions and charges provided to take you, or your study group, through a journey you won’t soon forget!

Is the Great Commission only for missionaries or does it apply to every believer, every church, everywhere? The answer may surprise you. Do you believe God’s Grace is totally sufficient?
