We look to the New Testament to tell us about Jesus, yet Jesus said of the Old Testament, “the Scriptures point to me!” 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.

There are no gimmicks, no guilt trips, just an irresistible invitation for women to enjoy a spiritual makeover—to put on a life that’s personally tailored by the One who knows and loves them best.

The Gospels record the “greatest story ever told.” To study the Gospels is to study the foundation of Christianity. Even for non-Christians, the Gospels serve as the primary source documents for the most influential life ever lived. But who was this man Jesus, and how did his movement begin? This book examines the nature and content of the four Gospels, the primary source documents for the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth. Where did these books come from? What was their purpose? And what can they tell us about Jesus?
