Jesus said, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End." The first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, as well as the twenty-two letters in between, are the inspiration for this book. Written for those struggling with anxiety, frustration, and disappointment of living through in-between times, each chapter introduces a Greek letter, a word from Scripture that begins with that letter, and a prayer practice to try.

This book can be used as daily or weekly devotional guide. It is a perfect devotional book for those seeking to go deeper in their faith and develop Biblical literacy. Rev. Stella Burkhalter writes in an accessible, conversational style to look at not only Biblical concepts, but also the words and letters themselves. Those who enjoy the intellectual pursuit of language learning will find much to connect with.  Those who are seeking a new and different way to read and study the Bible and pray will also enjoy this book. It offers a mystical path from the heart of an artist, but stays in keeping with traditional  teachings from a trained theologian. Christians of all backgrounds and denominations, as well as those with no Christian background at all will find things to ponder in this book.
