Description
For many, the Bible is a book of life tips, inspiring words, and lofty tales. For others, the Bible is a book that's boring, outdated, and difficult to understand. But both of these views miss the heart of God's Word.In They Spoke of Me, Brandon Smith and Everett Berry show us that the Bible is actually one beautiful story centered on the life and work of Jesus Christ. When Jesus said to his disciples, "The Scriptures spoke of me," he was telling them that he is the key to understanding God's story of redemption, all the way back through the Old Testament. Explaining how nine key Old Testament stories point to Jesus, Smith and Berry help readers get a glimpse of what Jesus meant. In turn, readers will better understand the powerful message of the gospel that is found on every page of the Bible.
