And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, [Jesus] interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.” (Luke 24:27)
After the resurrection, when Jesus used Scripture to explain who he was and why he came, where did he start? In the Old Testament. And this is where The Promised One begins to look for Christ, finding him in the people, promises, and patterns of the Old Testament scriptures.
With contagious passion and theological soundness, Bible teacher Nancy Guthrie shows how the book of Genesis points us to the person of Christ. Throughout ten weeks of guided personal study, relevant teaching, and thoughtful discussion questions, The Promised One will help you:
make new discoveries of Jesus as seen in the shadows of the Old Testament;
apply the gospel found in Genesis to issues such as shame, fear, and the desire for security and significance;
develop your longing for what is ahead when the world is once again made new. 
Gain a fresh perspective on the book of Genesis, a broader understanding of Jesus as the fulfilment of Scripture, and much more, when you join with Nancy on this incredible journey to see Jesus in the Old Testament!
“The perfect blend of biblical scholarship and heartfelt passion, Guthrie guides us through Genesis, helping us discover for ourselves God’s magnificent plan of redemption. Her steps are sure, and her grasp of the Scriptures is breath-taking. Above all, God’s unfailing love, grace, and sovereignty shine forth from every page. A brilliant start to a very promising series.” – Liz Curtis Higgs, New York Times best–selling author, Mine is the Night and Bad Girls of the Bible
“An excellent resource for the church. Nancy explains biblical connections in a way that will be helpful to new believers as well as those steeped in the faith. I wish I had these resources years ago.” – Wendy Horger Alsup, mother; author, Practical Theology for Women: How Knowing God Makes a Difference in Our Daily Lives
“The Bible is a book about Jesus. The disciples walking to Emmaus after the resurrection discovered this as Christ himself walked along with them and explained how the Old Testament pointed to the Savior. This book is the first in an important series by Nancy Guthrie and it spotlights how Jesus can be seen in the book of Genesis. I recommend this—and the entire series—to you.” – Alistair Begg, Senior Pastor, Parkside Church, Cleveland, Ohio
“It’s not hyperbole to say, ‘It’s about time.’ While there are good books out there telling pastors how to preach Christ from all the Scriptures, there have been very few Bible studies for laypeople—especially for women—along these lines. Nancy Guthrie does an amazing job of helping us to fit the pieces of the biblical puzzle together, with Christ at the center.” – Michael S. Horton, J. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary California
“Nancy takes us by the hand and the heart on an exegetical excursion to see Christ in the Old Testament…the beauty of Guthrie’s writing is that you are certain she has met him there first.” – Jean F. Larroux, Senior Pastor, Southwood Presbyterian Church, PCA, Huntsville, Alabama
“Every leader of small group ministries knows the difficult task of finding good material—material that causes participants to think carefully while striking a chord in the heart; material that challenges the mature Christian, while gently leading those younger in the faith into deeper truths; material that digs into the Bible and applies its treasures to our everyday lives. The Promised One manages to do it all! A meaningful, 10–week Bible study with thought–provoking questions and solid teaching, and a peek at what is still to come. I am delighted to offer this to the women in my church and look forward to the remaining books in this series.” – Jean Bronson, Director of Women’s Ministries, Kirk of the Hills Presbyterian Church, St. Louis, Missouri
