Author of You Are Created to Be Loved
The depth of this work is amazing. Alex does such a good job of covering all the bases, leaving no gaps for one to wonder where he is coming from. This work is on par with all the reformers who have changed the course of Christianity.
Good job, Alex—one step closer to the way things were 1900 years ago.

What I love most about The Messianic Feast: Moving Beyond the Ritual is that, as soon as I began reading it, it spoke to my heart and affected my spirit. This book is loaded with golden nuggets of truth and fresh revelation. It has provided me with a greater knowledge and understanding of what true communion really is.
It has also had a definite, positive impact on my interaction with other members of the Body of Christ. Thank you, Alex Tennent, for sharing this wonderful gift! I am eternally grateful for this new understanding.
I do not like this book—I love this book!
There are several reasons why I deeply appreciate it. The study of the words used in their original language, and what they meant in the time and context in which they were written, is exceptional. The author’s knowledge and use of hermeneutical principles, along with his understanding of the manners and customs of those days, add significant depth.
Another very important factor is the consideration of church history, as well as the impact of both governmental and clerical rule that shaped and dictated much of the church’s dogma and the traditions that were accepted and adopted. Many compromises were made in the name of unity and peace, often taking priority over the truths of the Bible.
The honesty and integrity of the author are commendable, and I hope more Christian literature and books will follow this example.
