Book excerpt: Our lives are filled with twists and turns, each one determined by choices that we make and colored by the consequences of what we find beyond our control. Somewhere along the road on our journey, between the sweetness of God's grace and the aftermath of merciful judgment in our lives, we find ourselves in the middle of God's will. In Lee Martin's brilliant and compelling novel, Southern Psalms, shunned Amish Minister Travis Marlowe is confronted with the missiles and pangs of life. Finding himself now living in the aftermath of a terrible choice and battling not only with forces seen and unseen, but also with voices internal and external, he is driven to the very edge of hopelessness and despair. With the help of new friends and his daily Bible readings, especially his beloved Psalms, Travis steps into a new beginning built on the foundation of faith ... a faith that is sorely tested, but found to be as true as it is tempered and forged in the purifying fires of doubt, criticism, bigotry, and hate of 1960s southern Louisiana. As he battles Satan and his demons, Travis discovers the answers to nagging questions from deep within himself about what is most important in life. Underlying everything is his true love and devotion for God, for others, and for a wife and daughter that he left behind. Would he ever be able to go home again? The only road that will lead him there is one that he would have to choose for himself found only within the wonderment of God's mercy and grace. --Jim Crutchfield

Christopher Ash shows us how to read and apply the book of Psalms. He takes us through 15 pairs of psalms that represent various €˜types’-including some that are very familiar and some that are often ignored. He helps us to see how they are fulfilled by Jesus and therefore point to Jesus first and foremost, transforming how we read them, enjoy them and sing them. Christopher Ash comments that this understanding of the Psalms "can shape the dynamics of our Christian lives in ways that neither a dry and arid intellectualism nor a rootless emotionalism can do. The Psalms can make us Christians with deep feelings, deep emotions, deep thoughts, and deep desires."

Download or read book Psalms Two Volume Set Evangelical Biblical Theology Commentary written by James M. Hamilton and published by Lexham Academic. This book was released on 2021-12-08 with total page 1200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Psalms are a carefully arranged collage of history, prophecy, and praise. James M. Hamilton provides a fresh translation and interpretation of the Psalms. This set combines both Volume 1 (Psalms 1-72) and Volume 2 (Psalms 73-150). Though commonly read in isolation, the Psalms are best read as a collage that tells a story of God's faithfulness to his people through his king. Hamilton observes the significance of the Psalter's intentional macro--structuring and intricate links across neighboring psalms. Hamilton interprets with a literary sensitivity and an eye towards canonical connections. Learn where the Psalms belong in the redemptive story, how they relate to God's people, and how they find their fulfillment in Jesus. The Evangelical Biblical Theology Commentary (EBTC) series locates each biblical book within redemptive history and illuminates its unique theological contributions. All EBTC volumes feature informed exegetical treatment of the biblical book and thorough discussion of its most important theological themes in relation to the canon--all in a style that is useful and accessible to students of Scripture.
