Restoration Workbook

Returning the Torah of God to the Disciples of Jesus

By Toby Janicki, First published in January, 2007

Based on the book Restoration, by D. Thomas Lancaster.

The Restoration Workbook is the ideal companion to the book Restoration. It will provide a good review tool for students as they read each chapter. The study questions will help students acquire and retain the information more effectively than merely reading the book.

Group leaders could set up a book study, where participants read a chapter during the week, and then the group could go over the workbook portion of the chapter during the study. The group leader could decide the amount of material to be covered. Some may desire to go through more than one chapter per week to limit the number of consecutive meetings necessary to complete the book.

From the Introduction

Today we have the opportunity to be part of an exciting piece of the puzzle of God’s prophetic plan. He is restoring the Torah of Moses to His people all over the world. Many believers are turning back to their Hebrew roots and embracing the walk of Yeshua and the early disciples—a life of Torah. They are embracing the biblical Sabbath, the biblical festivals, the biblical dietary laws and the biblical prescription for life. They are seeing the Bible’s concepts of loving God and loving one’s neighbor brought back into their proper contexts. Faith is being strengthened while Yeshua’s light is shining brighter and brighter. These are definitely exciting times.

However, in this return to Torah, there is also a lot of chaos and confusion. As we venture into uncharted waters, there are many obstacles in our way. If we are not careful to keep our equilibrium on this new journey, things can quickly fall out of balance.

It is our hope at FFOZ that the book Restoration provides a balanced and sound introduction to the Torah. We desire to see the Torah lead people into a more Messiah-centered life.

Restoration is a friendly, gracious introduction to the world of Hebrew roots that encourages readers to deepen their faith in Messiah. It is in this spirit that we have created this workbook for further studies.

In this workbook are fifteen chapters that correspond to the chapters in the book Restoration. Each chapter contains an introduction and questions to help the reader explore the concepts and ideas presented in the book in more detail. The reader will be challenged to remember each chapter’s contents and reiterate the information in his or her own words. Also included in each chapter is a quotation from the book as well as a similar thought or quotation from an evangelical author to help facilitate more discussion. Finally, testimonies that will inspire practical application are included at the end of every chapter.

Individuals can use this workbook as a companion to Restoration. It will provide a good review tool for them as they read each chapter. The study questions will help students acquire and retain the information more effectively than merely reading the book. This study guide will benefit the reader’s comprehension and serve as an avenue for sharing the material with others.
This workbook is primarily intended for use in a group setting.

Group leaders could set up a book study, where participants read a chapter during the week, and then the group could go over the workbook portion of the chapter during the study. The group leader could decide the amount of material to be covered. Some may desire to go through more than one chapter per week to limit the number of consecutive meetings necessary to complete the book.
