How could I not enjoy a book in which the editor says 'is designed as a springboard for delight in God - the supreme Savior, Sovereign, and Satisfier of the world'? Jason DeRouchie has a sure hand when it comes to guiding a team of scholars. The aroma of his God-centered, Christ-exalting commitments permeate this survey...I would happily put this in the hand of every church member.
-John Piper
Finally! An introduction to the only Bible Jesus had that tries to makes sense of each book by highlighting its life-giving message. This volume is invitingly organized and composed, and delightfully illustrated.

No ordinary survey! This clear, concise, and easy-to-understand text will help church folks and serious students alike grasp the contribution of the Old Testament to the Bible as a single text with a unified plot structure that finds ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ. Beautiful pictures and helpful diagrams aid communication in a powerful way. I heartily recommend it!

This is one of the most user-friendly surveys of the Old Testament - Jesus' Bible - that I have seen...I highly recommend this book.
-David Howard,
Bethel Seminary
This clear and attractive book combines academic rigor with devotional warmth...The authors have taught Old Testament courses many times, and they know how to connect with students.
-Andy Naselli,
Bethlehem College and Seminary
This is truly a remarkable resource for the student of Scripture...Unlike your standard (and all too often stodgy) survey of the Old Testament, this volume is written in a vibrant and engaging style and is visually stunning. But best of all, it is distinctively Christ-centered. This will be the book to which I send all future inquisitive students of God's Word.

This book sets new standards for an Old Testament survey. The Christ-centered emphasis is a breath of fresh air. The canonical theology is deep and rich. It is exegetically faithful. The user-friendly features are not just easy to follow; they flat-out arrest your attention at times. In a crowded field of competitors, it is a standout. I commend it highly and plan to turn to it often.
