As Elizabeth Thompson of Eugene, Oregon sat down daily to study and pray she intended to write devotionals to share through an internet venue. What transpired was an accumulation of almost 60,000 words which describe the heart of the Book of Isaiah, also known as the "mini-Bible." Her teachings and encouraging applications challenge women to fearlessly live a life of fullness, embracing vision and aspirations previously not dared to advance upon.
Though the biblical book of Isaiah has held some jewels that I loved to mediate on, I had never understood the heart of the book in its entirety. Elizabeth Thompson took Isaiah and brought the heart of God home to women throughout the book. This is not a scholarly or stuffy approach to Isaiah but rather practical with associations which speak to women in our current culture. The book also has a companion book with questions and room for reflections which could be used in a group or alone. It is called Isaiah: Fearlessly Birthing Vision Vade Mecum.
