Messianic Peshitta Megilah for Purim - Paperback

by Daniel Perek (Author)

The Messianic Peshitta Megilah for Purim is an exceptional book for celebrating Purim. It is an abridgment of the Book of Esther, the only book in the Scriptures that does not mention G-d directly, either by name or title.

This abridged Megilah offers the Messianic community the opportunity to celebrate and learn more about Purim, as well as the Book of Esther.Each chapter starts with a significant and direct quote from the Hebrew and the English. The rest of the corresponding biblical chapter is summarized for brevity and clarity. After each summarized chapter there are "Thoughts to Consider," with probing analysis and questions about the chapter focused on the Messianic overtones of the book. These can be discussed during the Shpiel.There are also suggestions for celebrating the Purim Shpiel, a comedic presentation of the Book of Esther. The book starts with the blessings for reading the Megilah, and ends with a glossary to define transliterated terms that may not be familiar. These transliterations render the more Jewish tone of the work, and aid in understanding Esther on a deeper level.Everyone who uses this Megilah will gain better insight into the plan of Salvation, and learn how detailed and "present" G-d is in our lives, even when we do not see or hear Him.(About the Author)Daniel Perek of Conroe, Texas, has been writing for 35 years.
