Reviews
"This book should come with a warning label:Caution: Encountering the Word of God through these pages might well change your life. James Howell combines the loveliness of a poet with the insights of a theologian and the scholarship of a Bible student. The riches of these devotions should be sipped, not gulped. Reading this book has reminded me that God is not through with me yet." F. Belton Joyner Jr., author of United Methodist Questions, United Methodist Answers and Being United Methodist in the Bible Belt.
