Finding Jesus--in the Old Testament To many Christians, the Old Testament is daunting. The stories are familiar enough, the poetry is beautiful, but the size, scope, and sometimes seemingly bewildering collection of archaic laws, history, and genealogies of the Old Testament can make it seem outdated and to a large degree irrelevant. But according to #1 New York Times bestselling author David Limbaugh, the Old Testament is brimming with stunning insights into the life, deeds, and message of Jesus Christ. The encounter between the risen Jesus and two travelers on the road to Emmaus, Limbaugh argues, is the key that unlocks the mysteries of the Old Testament, showing that its entire purpose is to herald the coming of our Savior. In The Emmaus Code , Limbaugh reveals: How hints of Christ permeate the Old Testament's account of creation How the Old Testament prophets repeatedly foretold Jesus' arrival How the numerous covenants between God and the Israelites culminate in Jesus Christ How the exodus story is loaded with Christian imagery Why the Old Testament is an indispensable guide for understanding all the events of the New Testament The Old Testament is not daunting when you have the right guide. In The Emmaus Code , Limbaugh takes readers on a journey from Genesis through Malachi, explaining the principal events and lessons of each book in a way that is open to beginning Bible readers while offering rich insights to more advanced students as well. As Limbaugh demonstrates, the Old Testament's literary beauty, enduring moral lessons, and historical record make it one of the most extraordinary sets of books ever compiled. And yet, these works contain something more--something even many of their most avid readers fail to grasp. While it is often wrapped in allusions or foreshadowed in symbols, a consistent message courses through every one of the Old Testament's thirty-nine books: the power, wonder, and everlasting love of our Lord Jesus Christ and His redemptive plan for our lives.

Review

"David has written The Emmaus Code not only as an accomplished author, commentator, and attorney, but with vitality that conveys his love for the Lord and His inspired Word. Well-studied, he brings to light that Christ is not hidden in the early books of the Bible but is seen as the bearer of God's loving and redemptive plan of salvation from the beginning of time itself... Don't miss following the road map found in The Emmaus Code." --Franklin Graham, president and CEO of Samaritan's Purse and of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association "Wow, what a book! My good friend David Limbaugh has outdone himself with The Emmaus Code. If you've ever been intimidated by the Old Testament, if you've ever wondered what ties the Old Testament and the New Testament together, then this is the book for you. It's the best Christian layman's guide to the Old Testament I've ever read. Fascinating--and highly recommended!" --Sean Hannity, host of The Sean Hannity Show and Fox News Channel's Hannity "In his exciting new book The Emmaus Code, David Limbaugh takes the encounter with the risen Jesus on the road to Emmaus to show how the Old Testament affirms the truth claims of the New. It's a masterful performance, and, to coin a phrase, evidence that demands a verdict." --Josh D. McDowell, author and speaker "David Limbaugh uses an ingenious approach to helping people understand God's Word in The Emmaus Code. The title refers to the resurrected Jesus appearing to two disciples on the road to Emmaus and explaining to them how the entire Old Testament focuses on Him and His redemptive ministry. Anyone wanting to better understand Holy Scripture will greatly benefit from reading The Emmaus Code, regardless of their previous level of understanding, beginning or advanced. This is truly a Christ-honoring book." --Dr. Richard Land, president of Southern Evangelical Seminary "If you've ever struggled to understand the unifying theme of the Old Testament and its relevance to your life today, The Emmaus Code will enlighten you. It's like seeing the box top to a jigsaw puzzle. David Limbaugh has written another gem filled with ah-ha moments that will leave you marveling at the Savior woven through every page of the Bible!" --Frank Turek, founder and president of CrossExamined.org
