In step with the Spirit, how can we communicate faithfully as we encounter one another online?Communicating faith is about living it, and sharing it with others, in word, and witness of life. These days, many people find themselves navigating the joys and struggles of life through screens and scrolling digital devices. As pilgrims on the journey, we are called to be intentional about how we share our stories and may wonder how our presence in digital spaces invites faithfulness. How can we communicate authentically as we encounter one another online? In Speak Lord, Your Servant Is Listening, pastoral theologian Daniella Zsupan-Jerome invites readers on a retreat—rooted in the Benedictine tradition—that promotes a spirituality of communication built on listening, engagement with the Word, and hospitality to others. Intended as a devotional resource for all faithful communicators, Speak Lord, Your Servant Is Listening is a lectio divina-based guide that invites prayer and reflection around the theme of communication in the Bible. Through the lens of Scripture, readers will discover what each selected passage reveals about communication, and in particular, the realities of digital culture today. It is for anyone seeking a more life-giving way of being connected with one another faithfully out of a sense of Spirit and communion.

"A masterpiece of contemporary Bible translation and commentary."—Los Angeles Times Book Review, Best Books of 1999 Acclaimed for its masterful new translation and insightful commentary, The David Story is a fresh, vivid rendition of one of the great works in Western literature. Robert Alter's brilliant translation gives us David, the beautiful, musical hero who slays Goliath and, through his struggles with Saul, advances to the kingship of Israel. But this David is also fully human: an ambitious, calculating man who navigates his life's course with a flawed moral vision. The consequences for him, his family, and his nation are tragic and bloody. Historical personage and full-blooded imagining, David is the creation of a literary artist comparable to the Shakespeare of the history plays.
