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 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 Cross and Resurrection.

Your understanding of the person of Jesus Christ was formed over the years from many sources: teachers, devotions, and personal experiences. Awareness of those elements is important as you begin a systematic study of the two natures of Christ, divine and human. Using a combination of spiritual and contemplative approaches, Monsignor Kelly will help you critique the personal Christology you already have and then examine the Scriptural background for the Church's faith in Jesus, moving historically through some of the more important developments in the life of Christ.

What is the meaning of life? Why do I need a savior? Why is the Resurrection important? What does it mean to believe and belong? Why does Jesus matter? Many people have lost their sense of purpose in life, or perhaps never took the time to develop one in the first place. Through personal stories, Scripture, and testimonies, the authors invite readers to find their purpose in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Discover Christ proposes that we find our identity and purpose in a God who is personal to the core. The book presents a God who didn't just send the broken world a set of rules, or a plan of social action, but who sent a person whose name is Jesus Christ. Whether you are skeptical of religious faith or a life-long believer, Discover Christ will challenge you to take a fresh look at what Jesus said and did and what that means for you.

The place "where God happens," according to Rowan Williams's striking new reading of the Desert Fathers and Mothers, is between each other. It's a truth that we of the twenty-first century most urgently need to learn in order to heal the experience of alienation that has become endemic to our age, and these odd and appealing ancient figures, surprisingly, hold keys to this healing. The fourth-century Christian hermits of Egypt, Syria, and Palestine understood the truth of Christian community profoundly, and their lives demonstrate it vividly—even though they often lived in solitude and isolation. The author breaks through our preconceived ideas of the Desert Fathers to reveal them in a new light: as true and worthy role models—even for us in our modern lives—who have much to teach us about dealing with the anxieties, uncertainties, and sense of isolation that have become hallmarks of modern life. They especially embody valuable insights about community, about how to live together in an intimate and meaningful way. Williams makes these radical figures, who clearly have a special place in his heart, come to life in a new way for everyone. The book includes an appendix of selections from the teachings of the Desert Fathers.

No one is more important to us than our Savior Jesus Christ. He is the only means of our salvation. He is our everlasting example. How can we follow Him and grow to become more like Him? It’s impossible to become like someone whom we don’t truly understand. When pondering about our Savior, are we able to answer these vital questions: • Who is He? • What is He like? • What are His fundamental attributes? • What does He believe and what did He teach? • How did He handle the adversity, trials, rejection, and temptations that He faced in His life? • How can this knowledge help us in our own trials and temptations? We can turn to three sacred sources to discover who our Savior is: the scriptures, the teachings of the prophets, and the commandments He has given us. As we study His attributes from these sources, our understanding will expand, and our lives will improve significantly. Each chapter in this book focuses on one of our Savior’s attributes, concluding with powerful suggestions demonstrating how we can obtain these same qualities. As we apply His attributes in our lives, we will become more like Him. As we become more like Him, we will come to know Him better and we will be filled with power from heaven. Discovering Christ can lead each of us to a richer life—a life filled with light, peace, and joy.

Charles Spurgeon once said that just as every road in England leads to London, so every text in Scripture contains a path to Christ. But there's still a chance of going the wrong way, blazing misleading trails where none previously existed. How can we be sure that we're reading our road map correctly? Dennis Johnson shows us that there are established routes we can trust. Guiding us along the network of trails in the Old and New Testaments, he points to the signs and markers that help us to identify roads to Christ. He surveys the Bible's sweeping story that makes up the lay of the land and explores different landmarks-the central motifs in Scripture that give us our bearings as we seek out Jesus. Our sermons, Bible studies, and personal devotions will be transformed as we navigate Scripture in light of its central purpose: to draw us in faith and love to our Prophet, Priest, and King.
