here
as there is space enoughupon a narrow fence rail to sit
so is in-between a place
--that breath, sigh, indifference--
life begins when we realize that
we are not in-between
but here

Priceless Stones: 42 Days of Hebrew Promises for Kingdom Living
by James Revoir
I always wonder, as I read through the Bible, how the original text differed from the English version that I read--how well our inadequate language represents what the original Hebrew conveyed (or, in the NT, Greek). While learning Hebrew and translating the entire OT myself could prove to be a lifetime project, James Revoir makes it a bit more accessible through this devotional. It is not a comprehensive dictionary by any means, but rather a devotional meant for the average Joe. Or Josephine.
Each devotional focuses on a single OT passage and is concisely written, without sacrificing content. My reading time per chapter averaged about 10 minutes. Although each day spotlights one Hebrew word, Revoir often includes additional Hebrew words within a single devotional to better explain the passage. He also provides both historical and biblical context for the passage, rather than attempting to fully interpret it as an isolated message, as many other devotionals do. A Hebrew-English and English-Hebrew glossary are tucked into the back of the book for reference.
