Are you serious about the hidden manna of The Bible? If so, have you checked into the hidden manna about Christmas and have you studied the origins of it? If not; how do you know if it is really a Christian celebration or not? It will cost you at the Judgement Seat of Christ if you allow yourself to be deceived by something that masquerades as Christian but is really a trick of the devil to get you to mix paganism with Christianity. All that I am trying to do here is help you to know the truth so you can receive a full reward at the judgement seat of Christ. Are you really willing to forfeit that reward so you can celebrate a pagan ritual that will be abolished after Jesus comes back? If you love Christmas so much that you are willing to cast the truth aside for the season so you can participate in this celebration, I urge you to first read this book to see the compelling truth about what you are doing. You might just change your mind. Ask yourself; do I want tradition, or the truth?

His mother had left him there in the big toy-shop, with instructions not to move until she came back, while she went off to do some mysterious errand. She thought, no doubt, that with so many beautiful things on every side to delight his eye and hold his attention, strict obedience to her commands would not be hard." - John Kendrick Bangs (1862-1922) was an American author, editor and satirist.

The Shofar is the preeminent symbol of Rosh Hashanah, waking us up to a time of deep introspection and celebration. But why do we blow the Shofar on this most special of days? While the Torah decrees that the Shofar must be blown, it does not provide a reason. On the deepest level, the Shofar is of course beyond reason altogether, and yet, from within its shape, sound and story, a constellation of "reasons" emerge. Rebirth. Responsibility. Radical Amazement. On a primal vibrational level, the Shofar calls each of us to a place of deeper consciousness and community as we crown the King of All Creation. A CALL TO MAJESTY delves deeply into the world of Rosh Hashanah and its primary Mitzvah, the sound of the Shofar. Weaving together a multi-dimensional tapestry of practical, allegorical, philosophical, and mystical ideas and implications, the teachings collected herein empower us all to answer the higher calling of the Shofar.
