How the Tabernacle and Old Testament Holidays Illuminate God's Love for Humanity 
Discover the importance of celebrating important holidays, including Yom Kippur and The Feast of the Tabernacles (Feast of Booths) or Sukkot. 

To understand salvation, God's original design for the world and his deep love to redeem a broken world, Christians need to understand the Old Testament, the Tabernacle, and how God met his people.

Rose Guide to the Tabernacle (Rose Publishing), by Benjamin Galan and Brent Ashby, answers the question, "How can a holy God live among corrupted people?" Galan explains the importance of understanding the Tabernacle. 

"The Tabernacle was a movable tent in the Wilderness of Sinai that God commanded Moses to build. It represented God's desire to live among His people. Studying the Tabernacle will give Christians a greater understanding and appreciation of God's plan for redemption and our calling to be holy," adds Galan.

Rose Guide to the Tabernacle explains the history of the Tabernacle, its sacred objects and activities , while also illuminating deep insight into what Jesus did for his followers during his life, his death and his resurrection. "God's presence in the Tabernacle instructed the people to live in purity. Jesus' blood and sacrifice meant the purification rites and sacrifices are no longer necessary," says Galan. Rose Guide to the Tabernacle offers insight to readers in the following:

• Understanding the importance of Shavuot (Feast of Weeks), Rosh HaShanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) and Hanukkah
• The Purpose and the three parts of the Tabernacle: The Courtyard, The Holy Place and The Most Holy Place
• The significance of the sacrifices: Sin Offering, Guilt Offering, Grain/Gift Offering, Burn Offering, and Peace Offering
• The parallels between the Tabernacle, Christ's ministry, and the church
• The symbolism of the Golden Lampstand, the Table of the Bread of Presence, the Altar of Incense
• The contents of the Ark of the Covenant
• Elements of Passover and a "Christian Seder"

Rose Guide to the Tabernacle contains 128 pages of facts, illustrations, charts, and diagrams not available in other books. It also includes eight clear plastic overlays showing the inside and outside of the Tabernacle and "tent of meeting," plus dozens of reproducible charts. Readers will gain insight to the parallels between the Old Testament sacrifices and priests' duties, and Jesus' service as the perfect sacrifice and high priest.

About the Author: Benjamin Galan grew up in a Christian home in Mexico City. During his studies, Galan became enamored with natural sciences. In college, Galen studied physics and mathematics, and grew indifferent and hostile toward the Christian faith. Along with the French mathematician Laplace, Galan believed God was no longer a necessary hypothesis.

After additional studies, Galan began to long for deep, satisfying connections and meaning in his young life. Through the moving testimony of a friend in school, Galan began to read the Bible with renewed eyes, and eventually returned to church. As he became more involved in the ministry of his home church, Galan sensed God's calling.

During his theological studies, Galan fell in love with the Old Testament and understood the Old Testament as the key for understanding the New Testament. 

[Rose Guide to the Tabernacle] is very detailed and easy to use. I facilitate adult education classes and use this book to assist in teaching. I especially found the charts/diagrams extremely helpful. At times I have made copies for the students to use, and they were received with great response! The charts/diagrams are large and colorful and easy on the eyes, and jam-packed with wonderful information. The definition sidebars are also very useful. The overlays are irreplaceable for demonstration purposes. This book has numerous references contained all in one!! (i.e. encyclopedia, dictionary....). I have encouraged students to purchase this resource, as it will provide for many years of enjoyment! Bravo on a work well done!
