Open Scripture like a map, and it becomes a living treasure hunt. First Fruits of Hope invites you back into that childlike wonder-not as a hobby of the mind, but as a devotional journey where discovery and worship belong together, and where the hidden storyline of redemption begins to shine.

Written in an epistolary, letter-to-a-friend voice, this book traces the Bible as one continuous narrative-promise to fulfillment, shadow to substance, first fruits to harvest. With a high view of Scripture and deep respect for the Hebrew roots of the faith, it explores how God's covenants form one unbroken design, and how Messiah stands at the center of that design without erasing Israel's calling.

Along the way, it confronts the tragic drift of the Church away from its roots-especially the legacy of replacement theology and the spiritual enmity that has fueled antisemitism across history. Yet the aim is not controversy, but clarity: to help believers recover continuity, see why God's faithfulness to Israel anchors our own hope, and envision Jew and Gentile walking together in the roles God appointed-distinct yet united in one faith and one hope.

Moving from sweeping covenant history into personal application, the book also treats redemption as a lived journey-warning against complacency, calling for endurance, and using patterns like the Exodus as a mirror for the believer's walk. Above all, this is a personal manifesto of hope: a case for trusting the order behind what feels uncertain, and for seeing your story inside God's larger story-steadfast, purposeful, and headed toward fullness.
