The New Testament tells us that God’s plan of salvation has been in place since the beginning, when the very first sin in Genesis 3 caused a separation between a holy God and sinful man. When we return to the old stories with this lens, Christians can recognize that God has been revealing His perfect plan for the coming Messiah since the very beginning!

Creation to Revelation’s unique and powerful series, “Shadows of Christ,” presents ways that God in His perfect wisdom and fulfillment ties together all the intricacies of His plan through people, places, and things in the Old and New Testaments.

Shadows of Christ 1+2 (people) provide character examples of a few of the ways characters in the Old Testament were types and figures of the coming Messiah. Each page offers an Old Testament character and lists ways he or she prefigures Christ, as well as the ways Christ fulfills their foreshadowing.

Shadows of Christ 3 (places + things) shows how God used locations and tangible things repeatedly in the Old Testament to point to Christ. Did you know that gardens are both the beginning and end of God’s plan for mankind? Have you considered how Hyssop, which seems like an unfamiliar and useless plant, points us to cleansing and forgiveness in Jesus? Have you recognized that the detailed attributes of the tabernacle and temple foreshadow Jesus as our perfect High Priest?

Shadows of Christ books are simply written for children to understand, but provide deep and powerful connections. Shadows of Christ is meant to build faith in God’s providence throughout all time, confidence in Jesus as the true Messiah, and encourage both children and adults to find new depths of fascination in the study of scripture and cohesive patterns in the Bible.
