“It has been said that the best of teachers can turn ears into eyes. “Come… meet Jesus” has done that. The paintings, the introduction of the artists, and the Holy Scriptures drawing us to the Savior. Whether sitting alone, with the grandchildren or friends, what a treasure Rich Timmons has gathered together. Let it speak to your eyes, your heart, your eternity.”

“If you are fed well, the body isn’t hungry… temporarily. Growing up in an art community, sustained by a family of artists, art shows, museums, and galleries, provided my soul an essential feast of beauty and creativity. In time, the hunger for beauty returns. Our culture is soul-starved. Rich Timmons, in this magnificent volume, has pulled together some of the world’s richest food to satisfy the soul.”

“Come… Meet Jesus invites us to examine the most consequential person the world has ever known – Jesus Christ, Savior of all who come to Him for forgiveness and cleansing from sin. Rich Timmons has been my very close friend for nearly 40 years and has taught me much about Jesus, about life, and about the power of art to illuminate one’s life. So, come and meet Jesus in a new way – through this captivating survey of God in the flesh, who came to rescue the souls of all who long for real life.”

“Hurlbut’s Story of the Bible is forever etched in my mind. The powerful, most popular stories of the Bible each had wonderful artwork alongside them. Time and again, we read through Hurlbut’s book with my parents and grandmother. Now, next to it on my shelf, I will place Come… meet Jesus, where classic art adds richness to the stories of Jesus, our Savior, and I can read this and show the pictures to my grandchildren!”

“Thousands of hours were spent creating these magnificent works of art, which have been admired for hundreds of years by millions of people around the world! They are arranged in chronological order by Rich Timmons, just for you, so that you might fully understand your purpose on this planet and give you hope for your future. What an incredible gift for you! Ask God to open your eyes and heart. You, too, are a magnificent work of art, created by the Divine Master.”

“Art can access places in the heart that nothing else can. Come… meet Jesus is by far the finest selection I have seen of great works of art portraying the life of Jesus. The selection is sensitive, tasteful, surprising, and unfailingly beautiful and moving. It’s exactly the kind of book I love to pore over in my morning quiet times with the Lord. Very highly recommended.”

“I lived in the world of science and math for years. It holds truths about our world. Yet as humans, it is the songwriters and storytellers, the poets and artists we turn to when we seek to know the deep truths of life. I am so grateful to Rich for gathering together a stunning collection of some of the greatest artists of history, as they share with us the deepest truth of all—Jesus Christ.”
