“As a Sunday school teacher, The Hidden Christ helped me discover significant layers of meaning regarding the Savior in the Old Testament. It 'enlarged my soul and enlightened my understanding.'” — Becky, customer

"What if I don't like the Old Testament?"

Author James L. Ferrell admits that he used to ask himself that question. However, there came a time in his life when he discovered what he had been missing, and at that point he "absolutely fell head over heels in love with the book. But I had to discover something before I fell in love," he writes. "I had to discover that the most powerful messages—about the gospel and about life—lie hidden just below the surface of the stories in the book. When I learned to ask questions that penetrated the surface, the Old Testament opened up to reveal a wonderland of inspiring truth and practical insight."

The Hidden Christ is the author's journey of discovery within the Old Testament, a journey that led him to find Christ in every story, every personality, every occurrence presented in that foundational work of scripture. Types, shadows, and parallelism abound, too many to be discounted or disputed. This thoughtful book explores many of those similitudes in depth, offering a perspective that illuminates Old Testament passages in surprising new ways.

Truly, "all things bear record" of Christ (Moses 6:63), and the Old Testament is no exception. It is the original testament of our Savior and Redeemer. The Hidden Christ offers a powerful pattern for your own exploration of an appreciation for this important book of scripture.
