A Shadow of Good Things to Come

An excellent book for anyone who is seeking to know more about the living God.


The first book in a two-part series, A Shadow of Good Things to Come, is a colorful book of Jewish history , dating from the time of creation with the Ancient of Days to king David. You will learn that God had a plan to save mankind, and He implemented that plan through the Jewish nation. Told in Bible-story form, you will find answers to many questions you may have about the Bible and mans relationship with God, questions such as:


Who is the true living God?

What is the purpose of man?

What promises did God give Abraham and his descendants through Isaac?

Why and how did God choose the nation of Israel to be His people?

Why and how did God set up the law and sacrificial system?

Why is Jesus called the Son of David?


Deeper Insight study questions are provided at the end of each chapter.


I always wondered why a loving God would bring so much death and annihilation to people in the Old Testament. Now I understand. Sin was rampant, and evil men threatened the very existence of the future seed of Abraham, through whom Christ, the Savior of mankind, would come. This is a wonderful Bible-based, simply-stated study that all Christians will enjoy.

This is a good book for Christians who want to learn, in detail, about the twelve Tribes of Israel and their lineage leading to the birth of Christ. I was amazed to scripturally learn about the division of the land God gave to the Israelites. If you ever had doubts about Jesus, you wont anymore.
