Download or read book By the Waters of Babylon written by Benjamin W. Farley and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-07-22 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Psalms have long been the preferred prayer book of souls in quest of God's guidance and comfort. It has been a hymnbook for the soul and a trove for canticles and verses of the heart. The Psalms have served both Judaism and Christianity's religious communities as a favored source of rich and magnificent readings perfect for liturgical settings. Most significantly, they have nurtured the soul in its desperate times of brokenness and longing for God. This is true of both religions and of their various branches across the years. For that reason, the Psalter ranks among the noblest of spiritual masterpieces, cherished for its eloquent and poignant prayers that lift the heart to God even as they bring God down to mend the soul. We need such times of private and communal withdrawal into the sphere where God alone reins. Solitariness with God heals the heart's wounds, individually and communally. Alone with God, God sees us as we are and allows us to acknowledge ourselves as we are--at our best and worst, in our joy and folly. The Psalms remind us that God is inescapably present wherever we allow God in to renew, inspire, redeem, and fulfill the highest hopes of our human capacity. By the Waters of Babylon provides meditations on all 150 of the Psalter's hymns. They are written to speak to the heart as well as to the mind and soul in search of grace and consolation.

Download or read book Healing Psalms written by Joshua O. Haberman and published by CrossBooks Publishing. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally attributed to King David, among others, the Book of Psalms is a collection of 150 songs in praise of the Lord, containing some of the Bible's most beautiful and inspiring verses. For centuries, Jewish and Christian people all over the world have turned to the psalms to give praise and thanks as well as to seek comfort and solace. Yet for many modern readers the messages in some psalms are not always clear; some are challenging, even obscure. The commentaries in this companion book show you how each psalm can help with the problems of everyday life. Featuring a cross-referenced index to help you look up specific feelings and situations from love and grief to happiness and depression Healing Psalms illuminates the powerful meaning in each psalm and shows how these "dialogues with God" offer support and healing, whether you're seeking deliverance from suffering, expressing love, giving praise for good fortune, or commemorating a special occasion. Whereas other books of the Bible portray God speaking to people, the psalms were written by real people speaking to God. They wrote from the heart, reflecting their joy and sorrow, pride and shame, love and hate. They tell of sleepless nights, of everyday struggles, of birth and death. Intended for readers of any faith or spiritual tradition, Healing Psalms will guide and inspire you through life's many obstacles and celebrations and bring you into closer fellowship with God.
Download or read book Songs of a Suffering King written by John V. Fesko and published by Reformation Heritage Books. This book was released on 2014-04-29 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our Lord has wisely given the Psalms, the songbook of the Bible, for the benefit of the church. But for many people, the Psalms’ contents are mysterious because they no longer have a place of prominence in the church’s worship. Author J. V. Fesko hopes to awaken the church to the majesty, beauty, and splendor of the Psalms through a devotional exploration of Psalms 1–8, a “grand Christ hymn,” in which David, as the suffering king, prefigures the king of kings, Jesus Christ. To encourage readers to come to a greater appreciation for the Psalms, the author includes with each chapter questions for further reflection and study and a metrical version of each psalm. He also recommends Internet resources that provide digital files of the tunes.
