Books by Nancy Guthrie



I appreciate the work of Nancy Guthrie. I recommend you check out the following books:

Discovering Jesus in the Old Testament
This is a year's worth of readings from the Old Testament demonstrating how Christ is present in (not simply read back into) the Old Testament. This is a terrific book for morning devotions or to be used perhaps at the dinner table with the whole family.

Hearing Jesus Speak Into Your Sorrow
"In times of deep sorrow and disappointment, everything we believe can be called into question. Ten years after burying a daughter and then a son and writing Holding On to Hope, a book that has been published in eight languages and has helped thousands of people around the world make sense of their suffering, Nancy Guthrie brings the additional perspective of years and further scriptural study to the issues we all struggle with when life hurts."

O Love That Will Not Let Me Go
"This compilation, edited by Nancy Guthrie, includes the writings of twenty-two classic and contemporary theologians and Bible teachers on how to prepare to die in faith. The short meditations are drawn from sermons, books, and other writings of classic theologians such as Jonathan Edwards and John Calvin, and of leading contemporary communicators such as John Piper, Tim Keller, J. I. Packer, and others. The writers provide a solidly scriptural and countercultural way to view the inevitability of death, explaining how and why believers can face physical death with hope, joy, and confidence in God’s promises for the life to come."
