God amazes us by showing us Jesus Christ present in the Old Testament.

Why, in order to create Eve, did God send a "deep sleep" on Adam?

Why does Genesis tell us Noah was laid out naked and drunk? Why did God send a "deep sleep" upon Abraham, with dark dread in the midst of his sacrifice, when making a Covenant with him?

Beginning with these deep sleeps experienced by Adam, Noah, and Abraham, this book finds more than a dozen instances of sleep featured in the Old Testament, which each foreshadow the Passion of Jesus Christ.

The various examples highlight different aspects of the Crucifixion, the goods which belong to the cross. They teach us to expect the cross in our own life, and to be confident of the graces it contains if we carry it. Inspiring us in our trials, together the Old Testament figures work to give us an invincible faith in God’s plan for our redemption, as they demonstrate that the sacrifice of his beloved son was foreknown from the beginning.

This is the first book in the New Old series.

I learned so much from this book. The typology unveiled in each of the examples of Old Testament characters pointing to Christ is enlightening and edifying my faith. May God bless this fine Priest in all his undertakings. I appreciate him narrating his own work himself… well done!

Catholics got tricked into not reading Scripture around 70 years ago, sadly enough by our own Church’s hierarchy, which has been infiltrated and compromised. This book is so important to read and share because most Catholics…most humans…don’t understand that the confusing Old Testament of the Bible can’t be fully understood without the New Testament. The New is like a decoder ring a superhero would use. Once decoded, we clearly see Jesus was God’s plan from the beginning and Christianity itself becomes logical, even to a former atheist like me.

I also recommend “Mere Christianity” by CS Lewis if you are looking to investigate Christianity or deepen your understanding and faith. Lewis was also an Atheist until he decided to look past the presumptions of society and check Christianity out for himself.

The hard-to-understand Old Testament is explained by the New Testament and knowing this will help you get to Heaven.
