“This book changed the way I view the Psalms and prayer. I don’t know how to describe it other than to say that you must read it for yourself to discover the heart behind the book of Psalms and the intentionality with which it was crafted. There is so much depth waiting to be uncovered and this book greatly aided me in realizing and understanding this.”
“Wow! So much in the book to think about and ponder. It is not a casual read, nor a book you would quickly read through for information. The book is filled with deep thoughts about prayer and God. One of the main ideas is “What is essential in prayer is not that we learn to express ourselves, but that we learn to answer God. The Psalms show us how to answer”
What the book is not: a book of how to pray the Psalms nor a book about the history of the Psalms.
It is a book that you could read just bits at a time or go back to for 2nd or 3rd readings. I also think it would be a good book for a Bible study with those who are deep thinkers.”
“Very informative but found myself wanting to just finish it. The “field notes” in the back of the book were most impactful to me, as it was helpful to hear how praying the Psalms had helped others - while the core of the book felt like a text book. Also some pages were weirdly out of order lol”
