Walking in the Moment between Tick and Tock: From Passover to Pentecost
The journey from chaos to fulfillment begins…
The Passover story ends with the Israelites escaping across the Red Sea and, after much turmoil and struggle, finally gaining the prize—to roam the desert.
This is the beginning of the story, not the end. And it is the beginning of our story, too, not the end. A story that culminates with Pentecost, the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, when God gave the Torah to Israel at Mount Sinai, and when he sent the Holy Spirit upon those gathered in the upper room.
A short, inspirational book, "Walking in the Moment between Tick and Tock" is a collection of three expanded sermons, looking at the period between Passover and Pentecost, between Pesach and Shavuot, integrating insights from both Christian and Jewish thinkers. It tells the story of these holidays as linked parts of the same narrative, two ends of a single span.

Mr. King presented this book to me as appropriate for the season. Passover is nearly upon us. I absolutely love reading about the Biblical feasts and celebrations, so I snapped it up.
King notes that Jewish holidays are different from secular holidays; they’re not just about observing the past, but about bringing the past into the present. We live in the moment, between the tick and tock of the clock, as we journey from Passover to Pentecost … from Egypt to Sinai.
King’s book meanders a bit from the topic, it reads a little like a diary of King’s spiritual journey and how he came to appreciate Jewish customs … particularly Passover. Casual, friendly and well-written, but short and unscholarly, it didn’t teach me anything new. Pick it up for some inspirational Saturday afternoon reading in your backyard while your children play around your feet.
