In this book, the author offers brief reflections on more than fifty scriptural phrases that prompt readers to pay attention, to pause where we could sense a beckoning to engage more deeply with the word of the Bible. Some of these select phrases are devotional, some speculative, some whimsical, some edgy. We are encouraged to see these words within the Word as invitations of divine encounter, epiphany, or unexpected guidance. The three sections of the book "Assurance," "Invitation," and "Surprise" -- organize the reflections by tone as well as theme.
