Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A book of consolation and compassion, offering encouragement and hope from the Psalms For those who are made to endure betrayal, affliction, adversity and suffering, the Psalms can be a source of wisdom and comfort. In this remarkable book, Martyn Percy offers a new reading of the Psalms to shed light on the help and comfort we can find in the midst of darkness and solitude. Martyn Percy explains how the Psalms fortified him during a time of great difficulty, and how they can help others who encounter difficulties of their own – whether as a result of Covid, recession, grief, abuse or personal hardship. In three sections - Going Through Fire, Being in the Darkness and the Grace of God – Percy walks us through the meaning of the Psalms that are meant to sustain us through times of intense personal suffering. Peppered with anecdotes, reflections and spiritual wisdom, this book will be a treasure trove of consolation and compassion for those who find themselves alone in their struggles. Each short chapter picks a Psalm for a day, creating a set of fifty reflections that make a perfect accompaniment for seasons of the year such as Lent or Advent, or any season where we find ourselves needing support. These thought-provoking meditations open up new windows on God's consoling and abiding presence in the midst of our suffering.

Download or read book True Worshipers written by Bob Kauflin and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone worships. But Jesus tells us that God is seeking a particular kind of worshiper. In True Worshipers, a seasoned pastor and musician guides readers toward a more engaging, transformative, and biblically faithful understanding of the worship God is seeking. True worship is an activity rooted in the grace of the gospel that affects every area of our lives. And while worship is more than just singing, God’s people gathering in his presence to lift their voices in song is an activity that is biblically based, historically rooted, and potentially life-changing. Thoroughly based in Scripture and filled with practical guidance, this book connects Sunday worship to the rest of our lives—helping us live as true worshipers each and every day.

Download or read book Songs of Resistance written by R. Alan Streett and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-11-11 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Songs of Resistance: Challenging Caesar and Empire examines New Testament hymns in light of their historical and cultural contexts. Such a reading yields new insights. Rather than finding theological truths alone, one also discovers lyrics that contest and defy Rome's "great tradition." The early Christ followers sang songs that opposed the empire's worldview and offered an alternative vision for society. These songs were a first-century equivalent of modern-day protest songs. But instead of marching and singing in the streets, believers gathered in private spaces where they lifted their voices to Jesus and retold the story of his execution as an enemy of the state and how God raised him from the dead to rule over the universe. As they sang, believers were emboldened to remain faithful to Christ and withstand the temptation to comply with the sociopolitical agenda of the empire.

Book excerpt: Renowned pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller writes the book his readers have been asking for: A year-long daily devotional, beautifully designed with gilt edges and a gold ribbon marker. The Book of Psalms is known as the Bible’s songbook—Jesus knew all 150 psalms intimately, and relied on them to face every situation, including his death. Two decades ago, Tim Keller began reading the entire Book of Psalms every month. The Songs of Jesus is based on his accumulated years of study, insight, and inspiration recorded in his prayer journals. Kathy Keller came to reading the psalms as a support during an extended illness. Together they have distilled the meaning of each verse, inviting readers into the vast wisdom of the psalms. If you have no devotional life yet, this book is a wonderful way to start. If you already spend time in study and prayer, understanding every verse of the psalms will bring you a new level of intimacy with God, unlocking your purpose within God’s kingdom.
