On an afternoon 2,000 years ago, a couple of friends were walking
from Jerusalem to Emmaus. A very ordinary-looking man joined them
and asked what they were talking about. This was a strange question
as one event had dominated most people's conversations that
weekend: the execution of Jesus of Nazareth. However, the
ordinary-looking man was not as clueless as they first thought...
"beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them
what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself". You see,
their fellow-traveler wasn't just a random guy - he was Jesus
himself. This book will take us into that conversation Jesus had
with Cleopas and his friend and what he was trying to help them
understand. It will take us on a tour of some of what "Moses and
all the Prophets" said about Jesus. Who were they talking to? What
did it mean to those people? How was any of it about Jesus? We will
look at thirty different places in the Bible where you can find a
prophecy about Jesus. Each chapter has the following extra
features: Prophet & Dates Prophecy Made Then and There Prophecy
Fulfilled Scarlet Thread Application Prayer

Colourfully illustrated retelling of the book of Malachi for 4-6
year-olds God had been so good to Israel, but they kept disobeying
Him. So, God sent Malachi to tell them to turn back to him. He
promises to send His messenger, who will purify the priests and
judge the people who are doing wrong. He promises that if they will
turn their hearts back to God, He will bless them. And God's
promises came true - he sent John the Baptist to prepare the way of
the Lord, encouraging people to repent, and he sent his Son, Jesus,
to take away the sins of the world. Brian Wright and John Brown's
colourfully illustrated retelling explains the book of Malachi in a
way that 4-6 year-olds will understand, but this minor prophet has
major lessons for readers of all ages.
