Short Synopsis
This is a book about getting, and staying, involved with God—what it takes, what it costs, what it looks and feels like, and why anyone would want to do it anyway.

Full Synopsis
With sound scholarship and her own vivid translations from the Hebrew, Old Testament professor Ellen F. Davis teaches us a spiritually engaged method of reading scripture. In her reflections on the psalms, the stories of the patriarchs, and the books of pastoral wisdom, Davis helps us cultivate those habits of the heart that lead to a rich relationship with God.
