In Old Testament times, worship was very different from what we know today. "The Bloodstained Path To God" offers two ways to learn about this time period. First, the authors give a basic explanation of the biblical laws, focusing on the yearly cycle of festivals and the sacrifices God commanded his people to offer. Second, using a series of short stories, the authors illustrate what it was like to live in a Jewish family. These stories emphasize the impact of God's laws on day-to-day life and what worship was like at the temple in Jerusalem. They also give a sense of what it was like to live under these laws.
