Sinossi

"Unveiling Jesus in the Old Testament: The Main Stories Explained with Bible Insights" is a comprehensive exploration of the Old Testament, revealing how each story, prophecy, and law foreshadows the coming of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who is central to Christian salvation. The book meticulously examines the main narratives found within the Torah—Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy—highlighting the presence and significance of Jesus within these foundational texts. It extends this analysis to the concluding books of the Old Testament, including Isaiah, Jeremiah, Habakkuk, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi, drawing connections between the ancient texts and the life and mission of Jesus.
Furthermore, the book delves into texts not traditionally found in the New International Version of the Old Testament, such as Tobit, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, and 1 & 2 Maccabees. In these writings, the authors uncover further instances where Jesus is symbolized and his coming prophesied. Central to the book's thesis is the portrayal of Jesus as the true Ark of the Covenant, represented by the Mercy Seat where the Levitical High Priest would sprinkle blood for the atonement of the Israelites' sins. This act is seen as a precursor to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus, whose crucifixion and resurrection provide the means for humanity's redemption and offer a path to eternal salvation.
The authors argue that these Old Testament stories are not mere historical accounts but are imbued with deeper meaning, each pointing to Jesus as the fulfillment of God's promise of salvation. While the book does not claim to cover every story within the Old Testament, it focuses on the principal narratives that demonstrate how Jesus is woven into the fabric of the Hebrew scriptures. The authors suggest that to fully appreciate the depth and breadth of Jesus' representation in the Old Testament, one should read their work in conjunction with the New International Version of the Old Testament, allowing for a richer understanding of the Bible's continuity and the central role of Jesus within it. This summary, while not exhaustive, provides a glimpse into the book's intent to unveil the presence of Jesus Christ throughout the Old Testament's main stories, offering insights that affirm his identity as the true Beloved Son of God and the cornerstone of the Christian faith.

Spiritual Lessons from Alfred...

Eric Ludy

In the year 871, the evil Vikings appeared to be the unstoppable new rulers of the Isle of Britain, but, against all odds, King Alfred of Wessex stood up and faced this encroaching evil head-on. In history, Alfred is considered “great” not because he was a powerful man, nor because he was a rich man, but because he was a man that stared at dramatic impossibilities and believed that God was able to overcome.  
As the powers of darkness sweep across our beloved nation with malevolent intent, it is our hope that the Church regain its ancient swagger and freshly rally to the Cross of Christ, brandishing the ancient spiritual weaponry entrusted to us at Pentecost. May men and women like Alfred once again arise to meet the Viking invasion. 
This is an Ellerslie Live Teaching Series from Eric Ludy, recorded live in front of an audience. When you purchase this audiobook, it comes with an accompanying PDF of the message notes.

Things That Matter Most - Essays...

Christopher de Vinck

Have you forgotten how wondrous life can be? Christopher de Vinck offers a timeless collection of wisdom on family, childhood, God, love, compassion, buttered toast, snowmen, Hamlet, Bugs Bunny, bees.  

For anyone who is caught up in the hustle and bustle of life, weary and perhaps a little jaded by all that seems wrong in the world, this is a book that helps us to see again. 

In essays that are warm, evocative, and often amusing, Christopher De Vinck gives us back the eyes of a child, the fresh vision of delight, and a renewed reminder that we are surrounded with awe that we often take for granted. This is a book about living with a perpetual array of treasures: the voices of people we love, the taste of marzipan, the sounds of October geese. This is a book that reminds us to look, smell, see, touch, and listen to what is revealed to us each morning. Chris invites us to realize life as we live it, every minute.

Reflecting on the joys of family, writing, and education, Chris doesn't shy away from loneliness, disappointments and regrets. His is a voice that combines both the joys and sorrows of living, speaking with hope and acceptance, and celebrating the power of simplicity in our modern age.

"In his classic book The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry famously suggested that 'it is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.' With the elegance of a poet, the wonder of child-like eyes, and the discipline of one who steadfastly pays attention to the world around and within him, Christopher de Vinck's Things That Matter Most helps us see with our hearts—to see rightly—those things that are essential to a life well-lived: A place to truly call home, friends who sustain and nurture one another, and the love of a God who knows us as children of great worth." —Jeff Crosby, author of Language of the Soul: Meeting God in the Longings of Our Hearts

With his father's cash in hand, he left for the alluring towns of Perfection, Prosperity, and Popularity. Each new town brought a brief sense of happiness, but eventually, as the excitement wore off, he was overcome by a deepening sense of emptiness. It was then that Wander remembered his father's words, "Wherever you go, my son, I want you to remember that I love you with a never-ending love."
