150 Finding Your Story in the Psalms
"The psalms are like the gift of tongues; they are the way the Spirit gives us words when we don't know how to pray. The psalms give us prayer language for elation and lament, praise and doubt, fear and hope. What a gift! This marvelous little book is also a gift, inviting us to see the psalms anew-as an ancient prayer book that speaks poignantly to our postmodern context. Far from some dusty old collection of 'religious' prayers, the psalms are gritty, honest encounters with the living God. A wonderful resource." --James K.A. Smith, Professor of philosophy at Calvin College, Author of "Desiring the Kingdom" and "Letters to a Young Calvinist""John Donne, Kanye West, Leonard Bernstein, Metallica, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Seinfeld, the God of the psalms-they're all here in their own words. If you can't find yourself in this amazing tour of life, you aren't yet fully human. If C. S. Lewis were a 21st-century California church planter, he would write this book." --Neal Plantinga, Author of "Engaging God's World""The highest compliment I can pay to this book is after I finished reading it I was eager to preach on the Psalms again." --Haddon Robinson, Harold John Ockenga Professor of Preaching, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary"John Donne, Kanye West, Leonard Bernstein, Metallica, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Seinfeld, the God of the psalms-they're all here in their own words.
