There is an increasing importance today for the Body of Christ to understand the Biblical calendar as we press in to hear Gods voice. Celebrate Jesus! will stimulate you to worship according to Gods divine order, and excite you as you stand with the rest of the Kingdom community celebrating Jesus.

Joan Lipis has written one of the most informative, practical and spiritual books I have ever read on the feasts. It is indeed obvious that God has given her insight and revelation for such a time as this. I was particularly impressed with her in-depth knowledge of how each feast relates to the Kingdom. This is a must read for all serious students of the Bible.
