You can't fully understand the Jewish people from the outside. Their faith isn't just a set of beliefs - it's a practice, a calendar, a table, a story told generation after generation in their own words. And no moment in Jewish life reveals that story more completely than Passover.
Passover from the Inside is your invitation to that table.
Written by Shira Schechter - Jewish educator, Bible scholar, and author of Before the King - this book walks you through the complete Passover experience - the weeks of preparation, the dramatic Seder night, the seven days of celebration, and the ancient texts and living traditions that give it all meaning. You won't just learn what Jews do. You'll understand why, and what it means.
What You'll Discover:- The Jewish tradition of reading and living the Bible - and why it matters for Christians
- The full structure and meaning of the Passover Seder, from the first cup to the final songs
- How the Exodus stands at the center of all biblical faith - covenant, prophecy, and redemption
- Why God introduces Himself throughout Scripture as the One who brought you out of Egypt
- How understanding Passover transforms the way you read your own Bible
The Exodus isn't background to the Bible. It's the heartbeat. Every covenant, every prophet, every psalm of redemption references and builds from that one foundational night. When you understand how the Jewish people have relived this story for three millennia - not just remembered it, but relived it - you read Scripture with new eyes. And you get to know the people you pray for as they know themselves.
This isn't a comparative religion exercise. It's an invitation. Pull up a chair. Passover is about to begin.
