The Art of Drawing Closer to God - Paperback

by Belinda É. Samari (Author)

"In a work that is both imaginative and ambitious, Belinda exploits very well the spiritual potential of the Old Testament. Her specialist knowledge of Hebrew and psychology combine well in ways that are accessible to the lay person, showcasing the potential of approaching Scripture this way. Belinda's explanation of the difference between Hebrew and Greek thinking, and its relationship to left and right hemisphere thinking not only sheds light on individual biblical texts but also creates an exciting environment for spiritual growth."
-Dr Laurence Turner,
Professor Emeritus of Old Testament Theology
