We tend to look to the New Testament to tell us about Jesus, yet it was the Old Testament about which Jesus said, "the Scriptures point to me!" In The One Year Book of Discovering Jesus in the Old Testament, Bible teacher Nancy Guthrie takes readers from Genesis through Malachi, shining the light of Christ on the promise of a descendent who will put an end to the curse of sin; the story of a father who offers up his son as a sacrifice; the symbol...

Who wants to merely go through the motions of religion? We long for something authentic-something worth opening our hearts to, filling our minds with, and giving our lives for. We hope for something better than the "churchianity" of our parents and the vague spirituality of our neighbors, something better than guilt-induced, holier-than-thou morality, better than here-and-now, health-and-wealth promises.

But while we may see the emptiness of our lives as our greatest problem, that's not how God sees it. When God looks into the empty places of our lives, He sees His greatest opportunity.

In this paradigm-shifting book, Nancy Guthrie gently invites readers to lean in along with her to hear Jesus speak understanding and insight into the lingering questions we all have about the hurts of life: What was God's involvement in this, and why did he let it happen?

Discover the person and work of Jesus-in the Old Testament. When we want to see who Jesus was and why he came, we tend to turn to the New Testament accounts of his birth in Bethlehem, his sermon on the hillside and his death on a cross. Yet we discover on the road to Emmaus that Jesus' way of explaining who he was and why he came was to work his way through the Old Testament-through Genesis and Exodus, Psalms and Proverbs, Isaiah and Jeremiah. In...
