Reclaiming God’s Festivals

By Tom Stapleton

An accessible introduction to the Biblical Feasts — what they are, why the early church kept them, why most Christians stopped, and what they reveal about God’s plan of salvation.

The Biblical Feasts are not Jewish customs the church has outgrown. They are God’s own appointed times — His holy days, given to teach His holy ways.

This book is for readers who are new to celebrating the Festivals, and want to understand them from Scripture. It walks through what the Festivals are, when God’s people first observed them, why most of the church stopped, and what we lose when we set them aside. Most importantly, it shows how the Festivals reveal God’s plan of salvation from beginning to end — a prophetic framework that becomes clear once you know how to read it.

You don’t need to be a theologian to follow this book. It’s written for sincere Bible students who want to test what they’ve been taught against the Word.

Two books on the Festivals — which one is for you?

Tom has written two books on God’s Festivals, and they serve different audiences:

• Reclaiming God’s Festivals (this book) is an introduction to the Festivals from Scripture alone, written for readers from any background who are new to the topic. If you don’t bring Adventist tradition with you and just want to understand what the Festivals are and why they matter, start there.
• Restoration of God’s Festivals engages the Festivals question from within Seventh-day Adventist tradition — using Ellen White’s own words and Adventist scholarship to argue for restoration. If you’re an Adventist who’s been told the Festivals were “nailed to the cross,” this book engages those objections directly. [Learn more →](link to Restoration page)
