Today is the birthday of Marva Dawn, one of the theologians who has been most influential for our congregation at Englewood Christian Church.
To mark the occasion, we offer the following introductory reading guide to her most significant works.
We’ve ordered this list in the order that we think the books should be read, and offered a brief explanation of why each book was included. We’ve also included excerpts of most the books via Google Books.
8. Being Well When We’re Ill: Wholeness and Hope in Spite of Infirmity
Having herself struggled with severe chronic illnesses, Dawn reflects theologically on such illnesses and how to find the grace and wholeness that God intends in the midst of these struggles.
