Nancy Guthrie Provides 365 DailyBibleReading IntroductionsThat Equip Readers to Understand Each Days Passage and What It Uniquely Reveals About Christ
Each book of the Bible is a chance to encounter Jesus, and every day of the year is an opportunity to seek him more deeply. InBeholding Christ, Bible teacher and bestselling author Nancy Guthrie offers 365 daily Bible reading introductionsthat provide background, context, and perspective to guide the reader into greater understanding of each days text as well as insight on how the passage uniquely reveals the person and work of Christ.
Drawing upon Guthrie's years of experience as a Bible teacher and her passion for seeing Christ in all the scriptures, each days reading begins with a statement about Christ that arises from the text, though it may not be immediately on the surface. In the reading introduction, she explains unfamiliar characters, events, and cultural realities; draws out biblical-theological themes; and emphasizes how the chapters fit into the bigger story of redemptive history. She then lists key words and ideas to look for as you read, as well as encouragement in how to respond in prayer, personal examination, meditation, and worship.
