200 Devotionals from the Hebrew Bible - Paperback

by Helene M. Dallaire (Editor)

Readers of this volume--200 Devotionals from the Hebrew Bible--will find nuggets of wisdom in short devotionals written by the author and her students. Each devotional includes (1) one or two verses in Hebrew, (2) an English translation, (3) a brief explanation of the biblical context, (4) an exposition for life application, (5) a few New Testament verses, (6) a prayer, and (7) space for personal reflections. The rich spiritual truths found in the devotionals are designed to provide nourishment for all believers, including academics, church leaders, congregants, students, and youth. The Hebrew texts included in the devotionals are drawn both from prosaic and poetic texts found in the Torah, historical books, and wisdom literature. They cover themes such as the image of God in humans, healthy relationships, managing God's blessings, dealing with doubts, responding to God's call, and much more.
