Connecting Sinai to Calvary
A Guide to the Old Testament
By: John C. Jeske
This easy-to-understand guide to the Old Testament, from the creation story of Genesis through the prophecy of Malachi, will help you to make sense of the Old Testament words that God had written for the world to read. Connecting Sinai to Calvary brings readers face-to-face with their ancient ancestors in faith. It tells the story of God's chosen people, who workshiped the one true God and who also tested the patience of that same merciful God. From its enlightening perspective, Connecting Sinai to Calvary shows today's readers that a loving God was intimately involved in the daily life of his Old Testament people. But author John Jeske, a forceful writer who taught the Old Testament in a lively style for many years, also connects the dots between a remote mountaintop in Sinai and a lonely hill outside of Jerusalem. Jeske leads readers to conclude that Jesus Christ is the central figure in the Old Testament. Through this exposition of the Old Testament, you will come to a greater understanding of Jesus' own words: "These are the Scriptures that testify about me."
John Jeske is a veteran of 20 years in parish ministry, followed by 25 years of teaching Old Testament at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in Mequon, Wisconsin.

You have done many good things for me, LORD, just as you promised.
PSALM 119:65

The Complete Book of Bible Promises is the most comprehensive Bible-promise book ever, gathering together for the first time the Bible's promises on every possible concern: from anger to worry; from fear, guilt, and loneliness to personal growth, spiritual power, and self-esteem. Scripture verses are grouped into nearly 100 topics, with an alphabetical index to help you find what you're looking for. Compiler J. Stephen Lang provides helpful comments to guide you through God's promises and help you apply them to your own situation.
