Download or read book A Journey Through the Psalms written by David M. Worth and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-08-11 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Journey Through the Psalms is a workbook designed for both individual and group work. The psalms are different from the rest of scripture in that they are the inspired writings of mankind lifting prayers and praise to God. The psalms cover the gamut of human emotion, the deepest cries of the heart, and the study of them develops a broader understanding of praise, worship and prayer. Each study leads the participant through a minor technical analysis to better grasp Hebrew poetry, as well as reflection and meditation sections to assist in experientially understanding worship as the psalmist intended. The workbook is full of extras such as a recommended study sequence, a group worship activity tailored for each psalm and group exercises useful for providing a change of pace or facilitator downtime. The study encourages the participant to explore their insights, hardships, and journey as a manner of ministering to one another. There are no right or wrong answers, only the mindfulness of where each is as they share their journey. This workbook encourages personal reflection, followed by interaction with a group. This shared worship, in community, offers insight and richness which can only be obtained in this way. The Psalms have much to teach us in this day of individualism and the limited breath of the corporate worship experience. A Journey Through the Psalms helps us to gain that understanding.

Download or read book David s Crown written by Malcolm Guite and published by Canterbury Press. This book was released on 2021-01-29 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As well as the name of a virus, a corona is a crown, the pearly glow around the sun in certain astronomical conditions and a poetic form where interlinking lines connect a sequence. It is the perfect name therefore for this new collection of 150 poems by the bestselling poet Malcolm Guite, each one written in response to the Bible’s 150 psalms as they appear in William Coverdale’s timeless translation. The Psalms express every human emotion with disarming honesty, as anger and thankfulness alike are directed at God. All of life is here with its moments of beauty and its times of despair and shame. Like the Psalms themselves, the poems do not avoid the cursing and glorying over the downfall of your enemies, but wrestle honestly with them as we do when we come to say them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A book you will want to read and read again." -- Eugene Peterson Afterword by Bono. How can we find a more transparent, resilient, and fearless life of faith? The book of Psalms has been central to God's people for millennia, across all walks of life and cultural contexts. In reading it, we discover that we are never alone in our joys, sorrows, angers, doubts, praises, or thanksgivings. In it, we learn about prayer and poetry, honesty and community, justice and enemies, life and death, nations and creation. Open and Unafraid shows us how to read the psalms in a fresh, life-giving way, and so access the bottomless resources for life that they provide. "David Taylor’s take is 'open and unafraid' alright. He really goes there, exposing himself before God in the most beautiful way. He might have called the book Naked, because if you don’t find your own self feeling a little exposed here, it might be time to take some armor off." -- Bono, from the Afterword "A book that you will want to read and read again, and yet again, in order to discover the wisdom of the Psalms that shows us how to walk in the life-giving way of Jesus." -- Eugene Peterson, from the Foreword "A winsome, accessible entry into the Book of Psalms…Connects the poetry of the psalms to real-life wonders and struggles." -- Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary "Taylor reads these biblical prayers with Dr. Seuss, rappers, and other poets, along with theologians and the daily news....Guides readers in tracing out patterns of holy speech that have the potential for healing our hearts and our communities." -- Ellen F. Davis, Duke Divinity School "I have always loved the psalms--for their defiant devotion, their deep joy, and their brutal yet beautiful honesty. And after reading this fantastic book about them, I love them even more." -- Matt Redman, worship leader and song writer "In these fraught and fearsome days, we need the psalms more than ever. And we need more faithful artists and thinkers like David Taylor to mine the infinite gifts the psalms offer across the ages." -- Karen Swallow Prior, author of Fierce Convictions
