Eating is a common part of our lives. Many of us do not realize that we can glorify God's name every time we eat. The dietary commandments on clean and unclean animals in Leviticus 11 give us such an opportunity. Some have said that Jesus, Peter, and Paul did away with these commandments. This book will help you understand how Jesus, Peter, and even Paul upheld this vital teaching from God's word. Paul instructs us in II Corinthians 6:17 to touch no unclean thing. Peter also directs us to the dietary laws in his first letter. You will discover the spiritual significance of the dietary laws. You will learn how obedience to them will draw you closer to your Savior and increase the fire of the Holy Spirit in your life!
