Discovering Christ in Old Testament Figures
From the first garden to the final glory, Christ is the thread.
The Bible is not a random collection of stories—it’s a single, unified narrative pointing to Jesus Christ. From Type to Truth: Discovering Christ in Old Testament Figures reveals how God’s redemptive plan is woven into Scripture from the very beginning.
Through ten powerful chapters, this book explores Old Testament “types”—prophetic pictures that foreshadow Christ’s life, sacrifice, and victory. From Noah’s Ark to the Passover Lamb, from the manna in the wilderness to the Valley of Dry Bones, each chapter uncovers how God has been telling the story of salvation all along.
Discover how the Tree of Life points us to Christ, the true source of eternal life.
See in Noah’s Ark a picture of salvation through judgment, with Christ as our only refuge.
Marvel at the Passover Lamb, the Tabernacle, and the scarlet cord of Rahab—all pointing forward to the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
Find hope in Jonah’s three days in the fish and the dry bones in Ezekiel’s vision—images fulfilled in Christ’s resurrection power.
With a Bible study leader’s guide included, From Type to Truth is both devotional and practical—perfect for individual study, group discipleship, or anyone longing to see Christ more clearly in all of Scripture.
This book will strengthen your faith, deepen your understanding, and draw you into worship of the God who wrote one story—salvation through His Son—from Genesis to Revelation.
If you’ve ever wondered how the Old Testament connects to the Gospel, this book will open your eyes to the breathtaking unity of God’s Word.
From Type to Truth—because Christ was there all along.
eBooks
Many readers don’t realize that when they purchase an ebook from places like Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, or Google Play, they’re not actually buying the book itself. What these companies provide is a kind of rental license through something called DRM (Digital Rights Management). This license allows you to read the book as long as you remain within their system, but it also means your access depends on their rules and their continued support. If the company decides to remove the book, or if you lose access to your account, that “purchase” may suddenly disappear, and you will need to "purchase" the book again.
That’s why I want to point you toward an important alternative. Stores such as Smashwords sell DRM-free ebooks. These DRM-free editions are completely legal and ethical, giving you full ownership without breaking any rules. When you download one of these, it truly becomes yours—you can back it up, transfer it between devices, and read it in any compatible app, even if the store or the app itself were to vanish tomorrow. In fact, you can usually add the DRM-free file to popular readers like Apple Books or Google Play Books for everyday use, while still keeping a copy in another folder as a safeguard. Think of it as the difference between borrowing a book that must always stay on someone else’s shelf and owning a copy you can keep in your own library. For those of us who treasure books and want to preserve what we’ve paid for, choosing DRM-free is a wise way to ensure our digital shelves remain full for years to come.

A Short Story
When grief and distance separate a father from his family, hope seems like a distant flicker. Nathaniel hasn’t spoken to his adult children in years, and memories of his late wife, Marie, haunt every quiet moment. But when his car breaks down in a remote stretch of Tennessee, he meets a mysterious stranger who calls himself El Roi — the God Who Sees. That encounter becomes more than chance. It becomes a turning point.
The God Who Sees is a poignant short story about love, loss, and God meeting us in our most broken places. As Nathaniel walks through grief, reconciliation, and self‑rediscovery, readers are invited not just into his journey—but into their own.
BONUS INSIDE: A two‑week devotional series based on the story’s themes. Each day includes Scripture, reflection, and prayer to help you process grief, experience God’s presence, and find hope in the aftermath. Whether you read the story first or meditate through the devotions in tandem, this combination offers both narrative and spiritual nourishment.
If you’re longing for a story that resonates, and a devotional that guides, The God Who Sees is for you. Because even when life feels silent, God always sees—and He is calling you by name.
When weariness replaces joy in the heart of a pastor, ministry becomes motion without meaning. Pastor Dave once poured himself into his calling, but somewhere along the way, the fire faded. He still shows up, still preaches—but the passion is gone. And when a desperate cry for help interrupts his carefully guarded routine, the hollow ache within him can no longer be ignored.
The Shepherd’s Call is a poignant short story about burnout, confrontation, and the relentless grace of God. As Dave is lovingly challenged by those who see what he’s become, he’s forced to face hard truths—and rediscover the gentle voice of the Great Shepherd calling him back.
BONUS INSIDE: A two-week devotional series based on the story’s themes. Each day includes Scripture, reflection, and prayer to help you explore spiritual fatigue, repentance, and restoration. Whether you read the story first or journey through the devotions alongside it, this unique blend offers both heartfelt narrative and soul-deep encouragement.
If you’re longing for a story that resonates—and a devotional that restores—The Shepherd’s Call is for you. Because even when the shepherd drifts, the Great Shepherd never stops calling.
