The King's Signet Ring: Understanding the Significance of God's Covenant with You by Chuck D. Pierce and Alemu Beeftu Book Review





In The King’s Signet Ring, Chuck D. Pierce and Alemu Beeftu have teamed up to write a brand-new book about the hidden meaning of a signet ring and how it relates to God’s covenant. A signet ring is a symbol of family heritage and typically it was worn on the pinkie finger. Many would be specially engaged and uniquely designed. If a king wanted to mark a document, they would use their ring to seal it. The ring also was a display of beauty. They were also viewed as a commitment to a person or the Lord and can be seen as a sign of public faith. The book explored the different types of covenants such as, “Edenic, Noahic, Abrahamic, the new covenant”, just to name a few. They explained how in the Old Testament circumcision was an external sign of our commitment to Christ. They compared this to a type of engagement ring. Then in when Jesus came and resurrected it became like a signet ring that has been sealed. In the book, they looked at the first Biblical mentions of a signet ring and what they meant. They explored the restoration of the signet ring and the sources of Jesus’ authority. 

 



 

I would recommend this awesome book about signet rings and what it means for us to be in covenant with Christ. I haven’t really ever read a book that went into details about the rings and how we use this knowledge to grow in our relationship with Christ. It was interesting to see the first mention of the ring found in Genesis. The first was on Judah and Tamar story and how easy it was for Judah to be recognized and identified for his actions against Tamar. I have read this story before in the Bible but I haven’t paid that much attention to the significance of the ring. I liked how the book discussed our authority found in Christ and how this relates to the ring and how it affects our relationship with Christ.
