Publisher's Synopsis
"When it comes to finding Christ, it isn't a matter of knowing where to look; it's simply a matter of training ourselves to see."
Through the law of Moses, God embedded symbolic reminders of the coming Messiah into every aspect of the lives of the ancient Israelites. Likewise, everything we see and experience in our modern world can be a type and shadow of Christ. Types, Shadows, and Casseroles makes finding those symbols and connections a skill anyone can develop.
With plenty of guided examples, relatable personal stories, and fresh scriptural insights, Hemsath shows readers how to find new meaning and spiritual significance in familiar objects and stories from the scriptures as well as how to transform their daily experiences into opportunities to grow closer to Christ.
This book includes:
- A three-step method for finding Christ in everyday objects and situations (one that even the most experienced symbol finders will benefit from.)
- Guided examples with lists and charts to help you apply the principles.
- Fresh insights about scripture stories such as David slaying Goliath and Lehi dwelling in a tent.
- A unique perspective from a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
- A variety of scriptural references from sacred texts including the Bible (KJV), Book of Mormon, and Doctrine and Covenants.
- Potential subject ideas and a template to practice finding Christ on your own.
- Online resources including a link to join the "Finding Christ in Your Daily Life" community.
