About the Book

Everyone knows what we mean when we talk about the kingdom. Except we don't. Different visions of the kingdom abound - and some of them are just plain wacky. Join Andrew Sach and Alasdair Henderson in this journey through 1 and 2 Kings, utilising the Dig Deeper tools to unearth the surprising nature of the kingdom of God from these lynchpin Old Testament texts. God wants us to work hard at reading the Bible in order to discover its true meaning. Hence, the use of 'tools' to help us dig and dig again. It's an interactive process. Indeed, the authors want to make finding the treasure in 1 and 2 Kings a possibility for everyone. This is a book to help you read the Book. Or, at least, an important part of it. 'My number one recommendation for individuals or groups wanting to study these important books of the Bible.' Nancy Guthrie The Dig Deeper books are a cross between a sermon (but showing a bit more of the preacher's work behind the scenes), a commentary (but often more humorous than that) and an interactive workbook (there are a few 'over to you' moments). Each book uses the same set of 'tools' - context, structure, repetition, Bible timeline and so on - that will train you in how to read the Bible better for yourself. The Dig Deeper books invite you to read the Bible well with a range of tools. Find out more here: https://digdeeper.tools

About the Author :
Andrew Sach serves part–time as a pastor at Grace Church Greenwich, and part–time as a tutor on the Cornhill Training Course, helping to train other preachers. He has a background in science that began with an explosives factory in his parents’ garage aged 15 and ended with a PhD on why two ears are better than one. He enjoys playing Bach on the piano and attempting to pour nice shapes in his coffee with frothed milk. He is co–author of the Dig Deeper books.

Review :
'While there are many fine commentaries on every book of the Bible, most of these are written for students, scholars and pastors. Surprisingly, few commentaries are written for ordinary Christians. That's why I am happy to commend this volume on 1 and 2 Kings. The content is clear and accessible, and focused on the concerns and questions that thoughtful Christians often have. No doubt men and women of all ages in our churches will benefit from this careful exposition and from the others like it in this series.' 'This book is a wonderful resource for those of us who want to know more about these pivotal books in the Old Testament. The authors write of "unearthing Bible treasure", and that is precisely what Andrew and Alasdair do as they carefully and forensically unpack 1 and 2 Kings for us. We are invited to study deeply, to join the authors in a growing understanding of God's sovereignty and his purposes. At the same time, this book is a serious, reverential and detailed exploration of Scripture, and also highly readable, at times even funny. I fully recommend it!' 'Good kings. Bad kings. Elijah and Elisha. Divided kingdom. Exile. These are the stories that make up 1 and 2 Kings, which can be fascinating to read but rather difficult to understand, interpret and apply. In Dig Deeper into 1 and 2 Kings, Andrew Sach and Alasdair Henderson present these stories with good humour and clarity, while also drawing out profound truths and making stunning connections to the whole of the Bible's story. This book will be my number-one recommendation for individuals or groups wanting to study these important books of the Bible.' 'This book is not just "another Old Testament commentary". Trust me! The sermons I heard Andrew Sach preach on 1 and 2 Kings whetted my appetite for this book - and I have not been disappointed. Here is a commentary that not only makes you appreciate the Old Testament as it was intended to be understood by the original recipients, but also shows its abiding relevance with many light-bulb moments that leave you eager to preach 1 and 2 Kings as God's message to Christ's Church today.' 'This is another gem in the excellent Dig Deeper series. Seriousness about and close attention to the text of 1 and 2 Kings encourage and enable a richer understanding of these books. The authors help the reader of 1 and 2 Kings to work hard and to appreciate the unfolding story of God's wider purposes in the world. They allow God's revelation in these books to amplify our understanding of God's grace, salvation and judgement in the work of Christ. This book and this series are a great resource for churches.' 'Many thoughtful Bible readers long for help and guidance in reading the Bible more thoughtfully. Dig Deeper into 1 and 2 Kings is a helpful, clear and practical guide to doing just that. The authors show-by-doing how asking pertinent questions (here called "tools") of the text under consideration enables the reader to pay closer attention to meaningful aspects of that text. Bible readers from beginners to old hands will be helped to "dig deeper", and so to discover more of the riches of God’s wonderful word.'
