What is new in the Library for 2012?

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 Discovering Jesus in the Old

Testament, 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 Incarnation,

Cross and Resurrection.

Find out what the world of sports can teach us about spiritual

principles with this One Year daily devotional. Each daily

reading focuses on a Scripture verse and a devotional

illustration from the sports world. Illustrations come from over

40 different sports, including basketball, football, baseball,

snowboarding, skateboarding, track, golf, and more. This

devotional provides daily insight into Scripture for sports fans

ages 12 and up.

Whether you’re eighteen or eighty, you can become healthy-

highly healthy! In 10 Essentials of Highly Healthy People, by

Walt Larimore, M.D., you will find medically reliable,

biblically sound, and practical guidance for assessing and

then impacting your health. Discover 10 principles to help

you balance the physical, emotional, relational and spiritual

parts of your life. If you are in good health or struggling, you

can use this resource to care for the health needs of life.
