To Walk and Not Faint

Completely revised more than fifteen years after its first printing <I>To Walk and Not Faint </I>is Marva J. Dawn’s popular fi rst book. Her devotional refl ec-tions examine the fortieth chapter of Isaiah as it deals with many of the critical issues of daily life. Dawn’s meticulous study opens up each verse of Isaiah ˝˙ to challenge us with signifi cant insights for faith and profound motivation for growth in discipleship.<BR />  <BR /> The structure of the book bridges head and heart: it oˆ ers both exegetical depth and personal involvement for a month of devotional refl ection. Each meditation observes the text carefully considers some of the nuances and implications of the original Hebrew and identifi es how our lives fi t into the bigˇer story of the biblical narrative. Thus the book 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.
