Light of the World: A Hanukkah Devotional For Jesus Followers by Rev. Ron Shifley
"Most Christians have never celebrated Hanukkah, thinking that it was a Jewish holiday and taboo for Christians. The truth is, Hanukkah is a biblical holiday that's been lost to the Church for centuries, and it's about time that followers of Jesus not only find it, but reclaim it and celebrate it as part of our own living faith heritage. The purpose of this booklet is to give the Church a resource to help reclaim and celebrate Hanukkah as a biblical holiday once again. Jesus celebrated Hanukkah. You can too!"
Light of the World offers readers eight devotionals for the eight nights of Hanukkah from a Christian perspective and a resource section that includes: instructions on how to light the Hanukkah menorah and how to play the traditional dreidel game along with a listing of Jewish and contemporary Christian praise songs appropriate for family worship time. Rev. Ron Shifley serves as pastor of Scotland United Church of Christ, an evangelical congregation in Scotland, SD.
Cost: free and available for immediate download. It is printer ready for printing (in booklet format) and distribution for congregational use within the local church.
