“Jeremy Kimble understands and advocates two big truths Christians must know and understand: 1) the Bible is God's Word, and 2) the Bible is the tool the Father uses to bring about conformity to the Son by the power of the Spirit. Dig into this book, and let it prompt you to dig into the Scriptures!” -- Professor of Biblical Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Senior Pastor, Kenwood Baptist Church
“The prophet Isaiah assures us that God's Word will accomplish the purpose for which God has sent it (Isa. 55:11), but what is that purpose? To give God's people need-to-know information for salvation is clearly part of the answer. The title of Jeremy Kimble's timely book gives us the other part of the answer: Behold and Become. Head knowledge alone is not enough. The church needs to retrieve this Pauline insight: beholding the glorious God with unveiled faces is a gracious means of becoming more like him (cf. 2 Cor. 3:18). God's Word gives God's people what they need to grow, the material for formation unto godliness and Christlikeness.” -- Research Professor of Systematic Theology, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
“In Behold and Become, Kimble introduces the reader not only to what the Bible is (God’s revelation of himself to us) but also to what the Bible does (transforms us to be like Christ). He also accomplishes the difficult task of simultaneously building a systematic theology of the nature and efficacy of the Bible, while considering the practical implications for the Christian life. Kimble doesn’t divorce the two, but shows how the latter is inevitably based on the former.” -- Pastor, Imago Dei Church, Raleigh, NC, Executive Vice President, Acts 29
“I have always believed that the only guarantee our preaching possesses the power of God, is when we preach the Holy Spirit inspired Word of God. In Behold and Become, Kimble has written an outstanding work that inspires to experience the glory of Almighty God through the preaching of his Word.” -- Vice President of Church Mobilization, North American Mission Board
“The centrality of the Bible in the life of a Christian and the church is a given among those who believe in the inerrancy of Scripture. But that begs a question. What exactly does this centrality look like? Jeremy Kimble provides a clear and comprehensive answer to that question. He shows us how to read, study, and obey God’s Word with greater joy and understanding. This is a really good book that will serve well the body of Christ.” -- President, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
“Jeremy Kimble’s scholarship is rivaled by his churchmanship, which makes Behold and Become: Reading Scripture for Transformation an all the more compelling read. I heartily commend Behold and Become for all who love God’s Word and God’s people, and who long to see the ministry of the Word flourish in their church and in their own life.” -- President, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary & Spurgeon College
