Blurb on back reads: "More than feasting & football. This helpful booklet from Dr. D. James Kennedy examines the rise and fall of Thanksgiving and how Christians can restore our beloved national holiday. Restoring the Real Meaning of Thanksgiving finds the origin of our modern holiday in the Pilgrims' practice of thanksgiving -- a custom itself adapted from an Old Testament tradition, the Feast of Tabernacles. our American practice of Thanksgiving was by design a day to remember the God of our Fathers and His blessings on our land. Not anymore. Today, Thangsgiving is all about feasting and football. And while restoring Thanksgiving will require a culture-wide renewal, Dr. Kennedy, with coauthor Dr. Charles Hull Wolfe, outlines steps believers can take now to restore their own Thanksgiving Day observance."
