"This book is a journey through the Old Testament. Just enough historical background is given to aid the reader to see a God who loves, has purposes for his people on earth, and forgives. We journey through the experience of individuals and a people. We see the summons to live life under God. That is spirituality. This is a profound and deeply inspired book about spirituality (life). Reading it changed how I see the Old Testament. Read it--it could change yours.

" --David Hall, Spiritual Director and Leader of Whaley Hall Retreat Centre "In the church, the Old Testament is sometimes dismissed as pre-Christian or even sub-Christian. In several publications, Michael Thompson has sought to demonstrate its value for Christian believers today. Here he tackles a topic that lies at the heart of Christian devotion and practice, namely the reality of the spiritual dimension, and helpfully explores the potential importance of a number of major Old Testament themes for Christian spirituality. A rewarding treatment of a challenging subject." --Adrian Curtis, Honorary Research Fellow, Religions and Theology, The University of Manchester.
