Simple, Clear and Compelling - a Perfect Introduction
Paul Wilbur has successfully done what few other authors have been able to do. He has explained, in simple language, the reasons for respecting and observing the Feasts of the Lord as modern day believers in Yeshua. I have read many works, by many authors, on this this particular subject and not one of them has been as easy to understand as Touching the Heart of God. This is a perfect introduction for those who wish to learn about the true roots of the Christian faith and the calendar of the Kingdom. Wilbur’s approach is not from the standpoint of legalism or condemnation, it is from the heart of a teacher for his students. For this reason, I would highly recommend this book to all who wish to better understand our Papa God’s heart for His people.

October 2, 2015A review by Romuald Dzemo for Readers’ Favorite
Touching the Heart of God: Embracing the Calendar of the Kingdom by Paul Wilbur is one of the spiritual books that will awaken readers to the consciousness of God’s kingdom and His will for humanity. In this book, the preacher and musician Paul Wilbur leads readers to discover God in the celebration of the different feasts through which God opens His heart, communicating His love and grace. The message of this book is centered on the idea that celebrating the feasts of God with devotion and openness of spirit leads worshipers into the very heart of God where He so generously communicates His secrets.
[It] is written in a style that is accessible, a language that is gentle and beautiful, like the author’s music. Drawing from the authority of the Bible, Wilbur establishes the importance of celebrating God through the different seasons of God’s calendar, expounding on themes such as oneness with God, humility, the laws of God, the mercy and benevolence of God, God’s purpose for humankind, man’s ultimate freedom, and a lot, lot more.
Touching the Heart of God is a powerful invitation to enter into a life of grace and ultimate union with God. It will be one of the important tools for a spiritual revival in a world where God is swiftly replaced by science and technology. Paul Wilbur writes with authority and conviction, offering a message that is as universal as it is timeless. His writing will forever allow readers to feel the heartbeat of God.

Wonderful book! It opened my eyes that we, as Christians should celebrate the feasts of the Lord with our Jewish brothers & sisters, why we should & that we don't need to give up celebrating the traditions we have always celebrated since we were children. Paul Wilbur is a man after God's own heart, his music is inspiring & takes me into the presence of God. Now having read one of his books, his writing is just as inspiring & right on the mark.

Illuminating
Paul does an excellent job revealing the Calendar of the Kingdom. The entire book is eye opening, but something in the last chapter really struck me as truth, alignment. You'll have to read it to understand.

Great Introduction to the Biblical Feasts
I loved how the author handled complex topics by explaining them in a simple and direct way. He took the time to explain the biblical feasts while not going over the reader's head too much.

A passionate call for Christians to embrace the Jewish (and Biblical) Feasts and Festivals.

Counting the days
We need the Hebrew calendar to know what time it is. Feasts and full moon's were set from the beginning, they will be followed to the last great day. If you want to understand prophecy you need to know the seasons. Lots of information and reasons for looking into the history and culture foundations of our faith. Easy to read very informative, I highly recommend this book.

Not just a discourse on the feasts and celebrations of the Bible but an invitation to participate more fully in the Kingdom of God through them. Having had a casual read for this review, I intend to purchase the book for my library and complete a more in-depth study using this book as a guide.
I received a copy of the book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

A good basic book on the topic. I will recommend it to people interested in beginning to understand getting on God's calendar through a lens of grace.
