30 Prophecies, One Story: A Short Review

By Josiah Pettit

September 16, 2022

Warning: 30 Prophecies: One Story: How God's Word Points to Jesus is not your typical kid's book. It doesn't water down big truths or skip over tough passages. Within these 100 pages, you'll find meaty teaching made accessible to young readers. 

I didn't learn to read the Bible this way until arriving at seminary, but Paul Reynolds mines the depths of God's Word, unearthing gems of Gospel truth from all corners of Scripture to share with readers.

Here are some ideas for how you might go through this book with your student.

• For Parents: Read a chapter a day for family worship.

• For Middle Schoolers: Study it for personal devotions.

• Teachers: Use it as a resource for class curriculum.

This is a wonderful book for equipping our children to see Christ in every page of Scripture, clearly demonstrating that "all the promises of God find their Yes in him."

About 30 Prophecies: One Story

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 Biblewhere you can find a prophecy about Jesus.
