I have been reading this book in the mornings for more than a year. Marva Dawn is a good writer and this is an excellent introduction to her works.

She has challenged my ideas about worship, keeping sabbath and the book of Revelations. I now know that there are a couple of her books that I would like to read through at another time.

I would recommend this book to any Christian who is looking for devotional materials that would challenge their viewpoint.
