Sometimes opening a book is like a lottery. You never quite know what you are going to get, even when it is a writer and a genre that I know very well. This is the second book I have read from Jason Akley, and I was as impressed by it as I was with the first one. Like Lazarus, The Psalmist is a well-written journey that is easy to get lost in – in this case it is a story that focuses on the life of David Threnody who is a blues musician. The book is a little on the long side, but honestly this is absolutely necessary, because the story is so sweeping and so amazing that you forget about the length altogether. It is a beautiful look into a person’s life and all of the lives that they touched. I also enjoyed the biblical references that were part of this book, because they managed to be significant, yet not detract anything from the story.
