Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Righteous rely on God and the Psalms teach us how... It is through the opening of the Psalms that we discover foundational truth for right living. It is as children of God that we can learn to delight ourselves in our Father. The highly regarded writer, Dale Ralph Davis, leads readers through a careful study of Psalms 1-12 with clear, helpful application for daily life. The Psalmist begins with the most essential truth for mankind. Davis explains: "Nothing is so crucial as your belonging to the congregation of the righteous". It is in the Word of God, Davis points out, that "the righteous man gets signals for living". The delight of the righteous is in the "law" the teachings of the Lord. Indeed for those who belong to Him, meditating on God's Word is "the pursuit of pleasure", with the Psalms a rich resources for such as pursuit. As the first twelve Psalms continue, we see basic principles unfold with great clarity. Much like our troubles today, the Psalmist endured wickedness a around, a world hostile to the true God and on a very personal level-deceit and persecution from his enemies. Readers are pointed toward the glorious rule of the Messiah, to whom world belongs. In light of this realization, we are prepared to face all kinds of troubles that otherwise would cause despair. The righteous rely on God, and the Psalms teach us how. Davis, a noted Old Testament scholar, provides poignant insight to the original language of the text, guiding readers to deeper levels of understanding. Verse-by-verse exposition crystallizes the Psalmist's message, and cross-references show the passages in brother biblical context. Illustrations from history and from the author's personal experience help paint the truth in living color, demonstrating the relevancy of the text across cultures and throughout time. This is an ideal resource for small groups, as a teaching guide and for personal study. Begin the Psalms with Dale Ralph Davis. Book jacket.

Download or read book The Book of Ebenezer le Page written by G.B. Edwards and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2012-03-07 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ebenezer Le Page, cantankerous, opinionated, and charming, is one of the most compelling literary creations of the late twentieth century. Eighty years old, Ebenezer has lived his whole life on the Channel Island of Guernsey, a stony speck of a place caught between the coasts of England and France yet a world apart from either. Ebenezer himself is fiercely independent, but as he reaches the end of his life he is determined to tell his own story and the stories of those he has known. He writes of family secrets and feuds, unforgettable friendships and friendships betrayed, love glimpsed and lost. The Book of Ebenezer Le Page is a beautifully detailed chronicle of a life, but it is equally an oblique reckoning with the traumas of the twentieth century, as Ebenezer recalls both the men lost to the Great War and the German Occupation of Guernsey during World War II, and looks with despair at the encroachments of commerce and tourism on his beloved island. G. B. Edwards labored in obscurity all his life and completed The Book of Ebenezer Le Page shortly before his death. Published posthumously, the book is a triumph of the storyteller’s art that conjures up the extraordinary voice of a living man.
