Passing on a Legacy of Faith Honoring The Feasts of God

I was given the honor to review Generation to Generation. My respect and love of Rabbi Eckstein and his daugther Yael of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews spans for decades.  This book comes at time I feel God calling me back to the basics of  the Jewish roots of my faith.  I also long to know more of God's appointed feasts and the importance of it to us all. It is a calling because the average local church does not teach of these feasts and how important they are to God and our walk with him. I want the real holiday traditions that touch the heart of God designed by God himself not the man made holidays we currently observe! I was so happy and surprised Yael Eckstein wrote a book about this very thing. This is perfect timing. This book is great for everyone wanting to draw nearer to Abba's ( Fathers) heart even if you do not have children at home.

​"The greatest legacy one can pass on to one's children and grandchildren is not money or other material things accumulated in one's life, but rather a legacy of character and faith" - Billy Graham
​

As I read this book I felt the deep heart of God as Yael wove her earthly Abba's teachings of important life lessons and holiday traditions together with our heavenly Abba's  Biblical mandates for us all.  Yael's witting style made me feel as if I was invited to her family's Shabbat table. She paints the true picture of living a life of Biblical balance  in front of  your children by honoring God's set apart times. In this fast paced world this book helped me to realize these set apart times by God is a special place to slow down with him getting to know Abba's heart of redemptive love, as  we remember the glorious miracles of days of old. God truly draws near to those who joyfully lean into him during these appointed times and one can not help but feel rejuvenated in the mind , body, spirit & soul!
