There are many who feel that Leviticus is a dry, dull, and boring book. That is not so. The gospel is the life, the teachings, and the cross of Jesus, the Son of God. The only way that a person in this present age can have the forgiveness of sin and peace with God is through the gospel of Jesus the Son of God. The gospel is not dull and boring. It is the most read, the most cherished, the most translated, and the most published literature in the entire world. However, the Law of Moses, and the Levitical sacrifices that were part of that law, was the gospel of the Israelites. It was through the Law of Moses and the Levitical sacrifices that a person who lived before Christ could have the forgiveness of sin and peace with God, and therefore it cannot be dull and boring.
This book is intended to make the book of Leviticus a living book and a very interesting Bible study. It will open up the Levitical letter and make it interesting by making it easy to understand. The book itself is easy to read and understand. It is written in a way that is quite reasonablein other words, it just makes sense. The purpose of this book is to give a portrayal of the Levitical sacrificial system, what the sacrifices meant to the worshipper who offered them, their purpose, what they accomplished, how God viewed them, and how they were fulfilled in Christ. That is all accomplished by very careful scriptural references that establish the points that are made in the book. When a person understands why there were so many different sacrifices such as the burnt offering, the meal offering, the peace offering, the guilt offering, the sin offering, the trespass offering, and othersand then he sees that each one of those sacrifices served a different purpose and they were all fulfilled in Christ is different ways, Leviticus becomes a book that you just cannot put down.

The author of this book is Jim Taylor. Jim has written two other books, WHY ME, LORD? A Spiritual View of a Carnal War. That book is a conservative view of John’s revelation letter. It compares the spiritual war John witnessed in heaven with the carnal war it portrayed between the Roman Empire and the church. The other book Jim wrote is JESUS, The Perfect Man in Whom Dwells the Fullness of God. That book views the holiness, the beauty, and the fullness of God as seen in the Man, Jesus, the Son of God.
Jim married at a young age and immediately thereafter he went into the Air Force. He served on Okinawa, and in Japan, and China. After he completed his military service he attended the University of Colorado as a math major. He worked for a division of Litton Industries, a company that manufactured components for guidance and control systems for aircraft and spacecraft. He was the chief inspector for quality assurance. That was a very high stress job, and so he and Judy decided to attend the SIBI Bible School in Lubbock, Texas. After graduation he became a minister for the Church of Christ where there would be less stress and fewer problems.
When Judy and Jim graduated from the Bible school they moved to the little mountain town of Poncha Springs, Colorado, a town where there was no church. They stayed in Poncha Springs for twenty-four years. From there they moved to Mazatlán, Sinaloa, Mexico, to help reestablish a church in that great city. Now the church in Poncha Springs helps support the church in Mazatlán by buying food and necessary things for the members who are very poor. The Mountain View Church of Christ in Buena Vista, Colorado, is also a firm supporter of the work in Mexico by supplying large quantities of food and medical help.
