    About this ebook

    The Long-Expected Jesus explores the many ways the Old Testament leads us to Jesus.

    Why is this important? First, because many followers of Jesus have a limited understanding of the relationship between the Old and New Testament and how all the scripturesnot just the New Testamentpoint to the good news of the Gospel. Second, this book will greatly enhance the experience of Advent in preparation for the Christmas season.

    With twenty-five short chaptersone for each day of Adventthe book is intended to be read one chapter at a time beginning December 1 and culminating on Christmas day. Readers will discover how to read the Old Testament in an exciting new way that will greatly enhance their spiritual growth as well as bring fresh meaning to the Advent season.
