Marva Dawn is known throughout the world for her best-selling devotional and theological books and her popular lectures on worship, ministry, and church and family life. Morning by Morning takes readers through a year of daily devotional readings selected from the best, most inspiring passages of Dawn's writings. Each meditation opens with a Bible verse or line from a favorite hymn and then offers reflections drawn from Dawn's books or articles. The devotionals each close with a prayer starter. An additional section in Morning by Morning provides meditations for twelve special days in the church year, including Christmas, Easter, Ascension, and Pentecost.
Karen Dismer has arranged the readings in this weekly pattern: Sunday meditations reflect on the meaning of worship. Monday and Tuesday focus on life within the community of believers. Wednesday and Thursday devotionals deal with the reality that life can include times of difficulty, loneliness, and persecution. Friday meditations invite readers to consider the faithfulness of God. Finally, Saturday meditations help readers to prepare for Sunday worship and rest.
Sensitive, wise, and deeply rooted in the Word of God, Morning by Morning provides nourishment for faith and daily encouragement for the Christian life.
