Dr. David Porter
A welcome to the journey
A book written from longing, prayer, and a desire to see Christ more clearly.
Come Know Me begins with a simple but weighty desire: that readers would find Him in these pages and discover a devotional experience different from what they may have known before.
The heart behind the book is not to offer a hurried reading plan, but to help people slow down, listen deeply, and encounter the person of Jesus through Scripture in a way that is personal, contemplative, and transformative.
It is meant to become a sacred weekly rhythm for those who want not only encouragement, but deeper communion, deeper sight, and deeper love.
Why this book is different
A devotional shaped for readers who want depth, reverence, and a sustained encounter with Scripture.
Centered on Christ
This is a devotional invitation to move from asking what we can get from Scripture to learning how to truly know the Messiah and orbit our lives around Him.
Substantial but approachable
Each chapter is meant to offer real spiritual depth without becoming so dense that it feels unreachable or overwhelming.
Built for a full year
The book includes 52 entries created to be revisited throughout the week, giving readers space to meditate, pray, and return again to what they have read.
A distinct devotional voice
Each entry is written from the perspective of Jesus with a tone that is warm, loving, instructional, demanding, and inviting.
What readers can expect
1
Slow down
This is not a quick-fix daily read. It is a weekly invitation to dwell, contemplate, and make space for a deeper encounter with Christ.
2
Listen deeply
The language and structure are designed to help readers engage Scripture personally, reverently, and with a renewed attention to the voice of Jesus.
3
Return again
Each chapter is built to sustain multiple readings through the week so that insight becomes meditation, and meditation becomes transformation.
Who this speaks to
For readers who long to know Him more deeply.
Readers who want more than inspirational snippets
Believers longing for a slower and deeper devotional rhythm
Those who desire a more Christ-centered reading of Scripture
Anyone hungry to encounter the heart and character of Jesus in a personal way
