To Walk and Not Faint A Month of Meditations on Isaiah 40

Through devotional reflections, "To Walk and Not Faint" examines the fortieth chapter of Isaiah as it deals with many of the critical issues of daily life. Marva Dawn's meticulous study opens up each verse of Isaiah 40 to challenge us with significant insights for faith and profound motivation for growth in discipleship. "To Walk and Not Faint" offers both exegetical depth and personal involvement for a month of devotional reflection. Each meditation observes the text carefully, considers some of the nuances and implications of the original Hebrew, and identifies how our lives fit into the bigger story of the biblical narrative. Thus "To Walk and Not Faint" both supplies skills for biblical meditation and invites readers to contemplate God's relation to all the cries of human existence, to realize how a relationship with the Trinity gives us the unusual ability to handle all the dimensions of life. Each short chapter is followed by seven questions for further meditation that will help the reader take its lessons into daily life. "To Walk and Not Faint" is an impressive contribution to Old Testament reference collections and study group reading lists.Dawn, Marva J. is the author of 'To Walk and Not Faint A Month of Meditations on Isaiah 40', published 1997 under ISBN 9780802842909 and ISBN 0802842909.
