Summary

3 Effective Ways to Study Scripture for an Essential Understanding of Who God Is
The Bible invites us to know God and have eternal life. That makes reading, understanding, and applying Scripture the most important journey we will ever take, but it can be difficult without a guide to provide direction.
In Come and See, Jonathan Pennington helps readers understand what it means to know God from the Bible and details 3 effective approaches to interpreting Scripture. Using the engaging analogy of a road trip, he introduces 3 friends who each have distinct, clear ways of navigating the Bible: informational (understanding genres in Scripture and avoiding exegetical mistakes); theological (reading canonically, traditionally, and creedally); and transformational (focusing on the goal of reading Scripture, our posture as readers, and the role of the Holy Spirit). Pennington gives detailed advice for employing all 3 reading modes, equipping readers to gain wisdom and know God better.

- Comprehensive: Explores 3 approaches to studying Scripture—informational, theological, and transformational—and includes exercises to practice each
- Enhances Personal or Group Bible Study: Helps readers engage in deeper communion with God by purposefully journeying through his word
- Ideal for Pastors, Seminary Students, and Laypeople: With an engaging, conversational style, Pennington teaches deep truths about knowing God and interpreting Scripture

    "I love the way Hunt weaves history throughout to bring readers into ancient times. The book is rich in detail, and the characters are fully rendered."--FRANCINE RIVERS, bestselling author of Redeeming Love on The Woman from Lydia 
 
In Nero's Rome, Calandra helps her father, a renowned sculptor, complete the most significant commission of his illustrious career. But then a catastrophic fire nearly destroys the imperial city, leaving Calandra reliant on a group of Christians--unusual individuals unlike any she has encountered before. Intrigued by their worship of the Son of an invisible God, Calandra grapples with her mistrust, only to find herself indebted to these believers as they help her rebuild her shattered world.  
 
When Emperor Nero begins constructing his opulent Golden House, the people of Rome grow resentful, suspecting him of starting the fire in order to clear the land for his immense palace. Needing a scapegoat, Nero points at those who follow the Jewish Messiah, forcing Calandra to make an impossible choice between right and wrong, friends and family, love and death.

    Fear is so much a part of the human experience that we may think there's no escape. Our own earthly solutions fall short, but God has offered us a better remedy: a spirit of "power and love and discipline" (2 Tim. 1:7 NASB) that can overcome fear of others, irrational fear, and sinful fear. Through short lessons and discussion questions, Wayne and Joshua Mack show how we can find true courage by fearing God and trusting in him alone. This book can be used for individual growth and development, for group study, or for homework assignments for those in counseling.

Through a compelling case study of one of the world’s largest Pentecostal movements (spanning over 198 nations), this book gives not just vision, but strategies—showing how the Kingdom of God expands not through grand events alone, but through everyday people living from a place of divine understanding. 
Whether you are a serving minister longing for deeper Kingdom insight, or you're hungry for more, or disillusioned with religion, or just starting to explore your faith, this book will open your eyes to what Heaven always intended: for you to walk as God’s representative—redeemed, restored, and ready. 
The world is waiting. 
The Kingdom is here. 
And you… are more than you know.
