Jesus on Every Page

It's always a blessing to find a new resource which will aid in understanding, appreciating, and benefiting from the Scriptures more.  I have just finished reading Jesus on Every Page, a new book by David Murray.  And I was blessed by it. 

It first caught my eye when I was reading Pastor Murray's blog and saw his offer to send a free copy of his new book to anyone who was willing to read it pre-release and post a review it on their blog.  I immediately thought, 'That sounds like the kind of book that would really help our students here at Covenant College understand how Jesus is revealed in the Old Testament.'  And myself as well!  So I emailed and received a PDF copy of Jesus on Every Page which I have spent the last two weeks reading. (No, it's not a long book - I am a distracted mother of two toddlers!)  And here is my review.

I was struck by the very personable, conversational tone of the book. Pastor Murray leads his readers along the path that he himself walked as a young pastor who was initially unaware of how Jesus is at the very heart and soul of the Old Testament.  The book is written in a simple and straight-forward manner, chock-full of vivid examples. It is easy to read and the message is clear: Jesus is present in every page in the Old Testament, and here are some (many!) of the ways that you can find him.  And not just find Jesus - but view the Old Testament in a new light, as Jesus himself would have read it.

This book will aid in personal Bible study and reflection as well as in teaching and preaching.  It includes discussion questions at the back which turn it into an excellent Bible study resource.  I encourage you to pick up a copy of this book and read the pages of the Old Testament with a new and greater understanding of our great Saviour who is revealed!  I personally enjoyed this journey through the Old Testament writings, and I look forward to placing a copy of Jesus on Every Page in our college library to benefit our students in their understanding of the Scriptures and the mighty, timeless work of Jesus Christ.
