As parents we want to protect our children; we want them to move forward in life; most importantly, we want them to take hold of and grow in Christ.

Let Nancy’s words give you comfort amidst lament and help you discover a faith that will remain when all hope is lost.

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. In her thought-provoking and authentic style, Nancy Guthrie shows that Jesus himself offers the something better we''ve been looking for, applying the truths of Hebrews to real-life issues such as guilt, shame, disappointment, hardship, unhealthy obsessions, personal ambition, and fear of death.

This book is for anyone who has been hurt in life and would benefit from a hope-filled daily companion. Critically acclaimed author Nancy Guthrie offers insightful daily reflections based on the Word of God to comfort, encourage, and uplift those who are feeling the aches of life—whether it''s because of everyday disappointments or deep losses. Through a year''s worth of thoughtful entries, the reader will learn how much God longs to lift us up, carry us through in times of difficulty and uncertainty, and give us true, lasting joy. Each daily step draws you closer to a God who truly cares and the hopeful life he wants you to enjoy. In short: Daily Scripture readings. Daily reflections for those who are experiencing any pain, disappointment, or grief. Daily opportunity to “dig deeper” into God''s Word. Weekly questions for reflection, opportunities for further meditation, and directed prayer.

This year, read and understand the Old Testament through gospel eyes—and discover how all of it points us to Christ.

All of the Old Testament is preparing us to understand who Christ is and what he came to do. When Jesus says “the Scriptures point to me!” (John 5:39), it means that the entirety of the Old Testament—its history, its promises, its people, its laws, its ceremonies, its songs—all of it is illuminating our way to his life, cross, and resurrection.

In this 365-day devotional, trusted Bible teacher Nancy Guthrie takes readers from Genesis through Malachi, showing how the writers point to Christ in:

The promise of a descendent who will put an end to the curse of sinThe story of a father who offers up his son as a sacrificeThe symbol of a temple where people can meet with GodThe prophecy of a servant who will sufferThe person of a king who will rule with righteousness―and so much more

In this daily devotional, readers will grow their faith throughout the year as they see the beauty of Christ in fresh new ways, creating a deeper understanding and appreciation for who Jesus is and what he has done for us.

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.

Each entry expounds on a Bible verse, leading readers to see and be comforted by God's perspective, purpose, and provision in suffering.

What does it look like for a believer to face the difficult reality of death through the ultimate reality of Christ? How do we live and die like we really believe the gospel is true?
