Turn Toward Promise

Publisher Description

Weaving together scholarly and pastoral insight, woven into accessible text, Turn Toward Promise offers a six-week study on Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel that point to our need for spiritual transformation. It includes a reading and a spiritual exercise for six days of each week. While these prophets usually are associated with vision for social justice and community concerns, Indermark invites us to listen to these prophets' voices as a discipline for personal spiritual formation. Indermark invites readers to draw connections among the prophetic texts, readers and their communities through linking text from and reflections on those prophetic sources with personal discipline aimed at spiritual transformation. He challenges to invoke efforts on their part by suggesting they get out of their comfort zones and learn new ways to encounter God. Each daily reading presents scripture from one of the prophets, a meditation, prayer and spiritual exercise.
