Description
This ten-week Bible study leads participants through the Old Testament from Joshua to Esther, highlighting how the historical books point to the person and work of Jesus as the true Son of David.
"The Son of David is a book about Jesus. Nancy takes the reader through the plotline of redemption revealed in the historical narratives. All of the heroic figures in the Old Testament were mere pointers to the greater Savior, Redeemer, Shepherd, and King who was to come, namely, Jesus. This book argues very convincingly that all of the wonderful promises presented in shadow form have found their ultimate completion in the one who reigns perfectly over his kingdom. Thank you, Nancy, for your humble heart and prayer that desires to see more and more people give their affections to this amazing paradoxical kingliness that leads us to serve others with humility and courage." -Kathleen Um, Director of Family and Women's Ministries, Citylife Presbyterian Church, Boston, Massachusetts "Nancy Guthrie's Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament series brings a depth to women's ministries that we desperately need. When you complete The Son of David, you will have a wonderful grasp of the historical books, but also your heart will melt as you see Jesus unveiled in every book. John Piper has said, 'Beholding is becoming,' and this is the kind of study that helps us behold our God and, in so doing, becoming the godly women we long to be." -Dee Brestin, author, Idol Lies and The God of all Comfort "As Christian growth leaders, we are constantly searching for Bible study material that is scripturally sound and grounded on biblical truths. Nancy Guthrie has a wonderful gift of keeping her studies interesting and challenging. The Son of David, perhaps her most inspiring work in the Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament series thus far, is no exception. No matter where students are in their spiritual walk or in their realm of biblical knowledge, they will be inspired as they discover Jesus in the books of the Old Testament." -Kitty Kosman, Christ the King Lutheran Church, Memphis, Tennessee
