In \u003ci\u003eWord by Word\u003c\/i\u003eMcEntyre invites readers to dwell intentionally with single words -- remembering their biblical and literary contexts, considering the personal associations they bring up, and allowing them to become a focus for prayer and meditation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e McEntyre has thoughtfully chosen fifteen words (see below), and she gives each word a week, guiding readers in examining the word from seven different angles throughout the week. She draws on the spiritual practices of \u003ci\u003electio divina\u003c\/i\u003e and centering prayer as she encourages readers to allow these small words to help them pause and hear the voice of the Spirit. \"I invite you to discover,\" says McEntyre in her intro-duction, \"how words may become little fountains of grace. How a single word may, if you hold it for a while, become a prayer.\" \u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eListen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReceive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnjoy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet Go\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWatch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccept\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBe Still\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRejoice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelcome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William B.
