Endorsement From Paul M. Hallacher, PhD,
Director, Research Program Management, Penn State University: With this book, Dr. Henry Covert continues his mission of providing interpretations and insights into the Bible with one aim: to change the life of the reader through a close relationship with God. Pastor Covert draws on his understanding of scripture and his own rich and varied life experience to examine more than 100 Old and New Testament passages for lessons on faith, hope, love, compassion, sacrifice, obedience, redemption and triumph in today's world. This book teaches, inspires and gives readers new understanding to achieving a changed life through a close connection to the Lord. It should be read by all who seek spiritual growth.
Endorsement From Pastor Barry Folmar,
Saint John Lutheran Church, Bellefonte, Pennsylvania: A breath of fresh air will greet those who read, pray and meditate upon Henry Covert's Spiritual Reflections. He presents a deep faith journey, which unfolds with spiritual insights, biblical depth as well as an authentic manner of sharing the inner and outer experience of Christian Spirituality. Those who pick up this book will find help, inspiration, questions to ponder and a wealth of experience. The author explores real life and offers a faith perspective that is straightforward and insightful.
Endorsement From John McCullough, MSS,
State College, Pennsylvania: This book is a fresh and inspirational look at various scriptural passages and stories. Because it addresses the meanings of Biblical passages and their relevancy to our everyday life, it is best read as a devotional and is a welcome companion to the Bible. In it, scripture is interpreted, placed in an interesting historical background, and then given its currency in our present age. Spiritual Reflections forcefully shows both the Bible's timelessness and its timeliness. Dr. Covert's book is more than an intellectual exercise; it engages one emotionally and confronts us with the choices Christ still wants us to make.
Endorsement From The Rev. Allen M. Fluent, D.Min.: The words in this book reflect the sense of God's grace experienced by Henry Covert in his many years of ministry in the church and among the incarcerated. Those who pick up this book looking for the assurance of God's presence in the life of a faithful Christian will not be disappointed. His journey through the Scriptures illuminates the human journey that all of us are on together.

Broken into thematic sections, each brief chapter examines a passage of scripture in its biblical context, with an emphasis upon how the text speaks to us today.
