A Compelling Memoir About Judaism's Rich Traditions--and an Unexpected Encounter with Jesus
Tammy Priest grew up in love with her Jewish heritage and identity. "I embraced it, dug into it, treasured it." Then one day, everything changed. At age 21, she heard God's audible voice speaking impossible yet unmistakable words: Jesus is the Messiah. It was both thrilling and terrifying. What would it mean for the faith of her youth, the traditions she cherished, the family that might not understand?
In Jerusalem Calls, Tammy tells the remarkable story of how God drew her to himself--and opens up the three Old Testament pilgrimage feasts that shaped her Jewish childhood to reveal something she had never seen before: that each one points unmistakably to Jesus as Messiah. Weaving together personal memoir, Scripture, and Jewish history, she brings to life:
● Passover (Pesach)--the ancient feast of liberation and its profound fulfillment in Jesus as the Lamb of God
● Pentecost (Shavuot)--the feast of firstfruits and the giving of the Torah, and what it means that the Spirit came at Pentecost
● The Feast of Booths (Sukkot)--the joyful harvest feast of dwelling, and how it points forward to God's ultimate promise to dwell with his people
More--though certainly not less--than an engaging true story of coming to faith in Jesus, Jerusalem Calls reveals new layers of meaning in the Old Testament feasts for both Christian and Jewish readers. For Christians, it is a window into the Jewish roots of their faith that brings the New Testament alive in fresh ways. For Jewish readers, it is an invitation to look at beloved traditions through new eyes--with honesty, tenderness, and deep respect for the heritage they represent.
With a foreword by Dr. Gary Chapman, bestselling author of The 5 Love Languages.
If you have ever wondered what the Jewish feasts have to do with Jesus--or if you have loved those feasts your whole life and are ready to see them with new eyes--Jerusalem Calls is waiting for you.

Tammy Priest is a Jewish follower of Jesus. Deeply connected to her Jewish heritage, she was caught by surprise during her young adulthood by Jesus. Her love for Judaism only deepened as she discovered Jesus in her Scriptures and customs and as she came to recognize Judaism throughout so much of the New Testament. She is passionate about bringing these connections to life for Christians. Tammy earned degrees from the University of Virginia and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and has worked in finance, social work, and local church ministry. Tammy currently resides with her family in North Carolina.
