“And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, [Jesus] explained to them what was said in all the [Hebrew] scriptures concerning himself” (Luke 24:27). In 101 easy-to-access chapters, Bob Beasley has opened up the Old Testament for us in a new and powerful way. "101 Portraits of Jesus in the Hebrew Scriptures" scans Genesis to Malachi in a survey of the many types, foreshadowings, specific prophesies, mighty works, and pre-incarnate appearances of our Lord and Savior--Jesus Christ. Solidly biblical in character, 101 Portraits will deepen your understanding and love for the entire Bible. Your faith will be enriched and enlivened as you learn to see Jesus appearing in the Hebrew Scriptures as the eternally existent Creator-Sustainer of the universe; great Prophet, Priest, and King; Savior of His people; and Lord of all history. The Old Testament is all about Jesus. Learn to find the Lord on its every page. Here's a book faithful to Scripture (not typologically fanciful),sound in theology, filled with insight and fun to read. [Each portrait is fleshed-out in the span of two pages--a marvelous feat.] The author, admittedly a good friend, while conversant with the best in commentary material, has himself matured into a top-notch painter and commentator. Best of all, the book exudes Christ and the author's love for Christ. I'm confident that ten minutes a day for 101 days spent in this devotional gem will increase and deepen any serious minded believer's love for Christ. 'Take and read' --Pastor George Miladin, Grace Presbyterian Church, Alpine, California Beasley's 101 Portraits of Jesus is superb, for at least three reasons. First, it is the sort of book that can only be written by an elder in Christ's Church. I am referring here more to the biblical character of elder, one who has lived long and well as a follower of Christ, having gained the wisdom that can come only from experience. Second, this topic can be a tricky one, and there is much erroneous teaching with regard to it in our day--willful blindness to the presence of Christ on the one hand, and on the other, man-made and agenda-driven speculations that contort and confuse. Beasley's handling of this topic is masterful, sound, and deeply encouraging. Third, this book speaks not only to our heads, but to our hearts as well. It is mystifying how easy it is to lose sight of Jesus, and, perversely, how easy it is to lose sight of Jesus precisely when reading the Bible! As Walker Percy would say, the Great Depriver is afoot. There is a vast conspiracy of the world, the devil, and our own flesh, that scheme together. If they cannot keep us from reading the Bible, they scheme to keep us from seeing Jesus when reading the Bible. Beasley's book blows away the depriving conspiratorial fog, speaking truth to head and heart, and showing us the glorious Savior on every page of the Hebrew Scriptures. I am deeply thankful for this book, and highly commend it to anyone and everyone. --Dr. Jeff Hutchinson, Senior Pastor, Trinity Presbyterian Church, Asheville, North Carolina Bob Beasley lives with his wife, Amy, in the mountains of North Carolina.
