Description: In her What's in a Phrase? winner of the 2015 Christianity Today award in Spirituality Marilyn Mc Entyre showed readers how brief scriptural phrases can evoke and invite. In Word by Word Mc Entyre invites readers to dwell with single words remembering their biblical contexts considering the personal associations they bring up and allowing them to become a focus for prayer and meditation. With seven phrases questions or prompts for each of the fifteen words she considers (see Contents section) Mc Entyre guides readers in examining the word from a different angle each day of the week. She draws on the spiritual practices of lectio divina and centering prayer as she encourages readers to allow these single words to help us pause and hear the voice of the Spirit. " I invite you to discover " says Mc Entyre in her introduction "how words may become little fountains of grace. How a single word may if you hold it for a while become a prayer."
