In this book Marilyn Chandler McEntyre offers brief reflections on more than fifty such scriptural phrases that prompt readers to pay attention, to pause where we sense a beckoning. \u003cbr\u003eSome of these select phrases are devotional, some speculative, some whimsical, some edgy. McEntyre encourages us to see such \"words within the Word\" as invitations and, in doing so, to discover that they are places of divine encounter, epiphany, or unexpected guidance. \u003cbr\u003eThe three sections of the book \"Assurance,\" \"Invitation,\" and \"Surprise\" -- organize the reflections by tone as well as theme. Rich with eloquence, wisdom, and wonder, these reflections will lead readers to enter the sacred spaces of Scripture, play with possibilities, and connect the biblical word with the ordinary -- and extraordinary -- lives we've been given to live.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William B.
