This book may result in a personal paradigm shift.
It quickly becomes obvious that this is a scholarly work—thoroughly researched and carefully written. The author’s premise regarding the Messianic Feast and the Communion ritual is supported with clear scripture from many different directions.
Mr. Tennent’s conclusion is hard to argue with when the only countering evidence comes from non-scriptural traditions of men, customs of the early Church, or the intentional alteration or reckless interpretation of clear scripture—all of which serve to keep us cozy in our traditional comfort zones.
I understand and agree with Mr. Tennent’s premise regarding Communion and the Messianic Feast, as revealed through his careful examination of scripture and Church history. I have been challenged to look at Communion in an entirely new light.
The next big question becomes: how do we—as individuals or the Church at large—respond to this revelation? Do we embrace the new light as revealed directly from scripture, or stay in the zone where the boat does not rock?
The book is a fantastic read, certainly suitable for us non-scholars.

Excellent!!
Once I opened the book, I found it very hard to put down. I appreciate that it is carefully written to align with scripture and penned to read with ease.
I highly recommend The Messianic Feast and believe it will have a lasting impact on all who read it. Thank you, Mr. Tennent, for the tremendous time and effort it must have taken to write this book. It is wonderful!
A Scholarly Addition to Christian and Jewish Books
The author is not only skilled in piecing together his facts but also creates a premise on which he solidly stands. You will learn more than information about the Messianic Feast—you will gain a wealth of insight into the Bible, both Old and New Testaments.
Well done!!!!
