Excerpts from an Interview with Marva Dawn (August 2000)

Which of the books that you've written is your favorite? Why?

Marva Dawn:

When people ask me which of my books is my favorite, I have no answer but to ask, "What are your needs?" If you are lonely, read my book on Psalms. If you want something for your daily devotions, try "To Walk and Not Faint." If you seek a more healthy congregation, read "A Royal of Time." If you are suffering, try "Joy in our Weakness." Teenagers and their parents and youth counselors should read "Sexual Character." Parents and pastors and church leaders need "Is It a Lost Cause?" and so forth. All of my books are my favorite because each one is my best response to a different need I encountered. I pray that each one is faithful to God and God's truths on that topic.
