Library
What is new in the Library for 2012? 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 Discovering Jesus in the Old Testament, 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 of a temple where people can meet with God, the prophecy of a servant who will suffer, the person of a king who will rule with righteousness—and so much more. Day by day throughout the year, readers will see the beauty of Christ in fresh new ways, creating a deeper understanding and appreciation for who Jesus is and what he accomplished through his Incarnation, Cross and Resurrection. Find out what the world of sports can teach us about spiritual principles with this One Year daily devotional. Each daily reading focuses on a Scripture verse and a devotional illustration from the sports world. Illustrations come from over 40 different sports, including basketball, football, baseball, snowboarding, skateboarding, track, golf, and more. This devotional provides daily insight into Scripture for sports fans ages 12 and up.
