The Christian life is a curious mixture of praying and partying. Partying? Yes, because Christians have a salvation to celebrate! Christians have a joy which this world can neither give nor take away The Christian life is a feast not a fast. It is characterized by abundance not abstinence. It is a continual rejoicing in the grace and goodness of God. This celebration begins in this life and will continue unhindered in a fuller, richer way in the life to come. In Old Testament times, God instituted various Feasts throughout the year for His ‘people’s blessing. He commanded His people to party! This book looks at these feasts and considers their true significance in the light of their ultimate fulfilment in Christ.
