Learning to Love the Psalms

This is an ePub eBook. Please read our FAQs about eBooks.

The Psalms are undeniably beautiful. They are also difficult, and readers often come away convinced that tremendous riches remain just beyond their grasp. In this book, Dr. W. Robert Godfrey invites us to journey with him towards a greater understanding and love for these sacred verses. The timeless elegance of the Psalms, their depth of expression, and testimony to the greatness of God have enchanted and edified God‘s people for centuries. Learning to Love the Psalms is intended to help today‘s Christians share in that delight.

Endorsements

“Almost without our noticing it, a single generation of Christian leaders has managed to eliminate the constant use of the prayer and hymn book of the Savior and the first eighteen centuries of the church. Here, Bob Godfrey prescribes medicine to reverse our sickness and provide a tonic for our spiritual weakness. And this medicine tastes good! By sharing his own love for the Psalms in a way that is both instructive and infectious, he makes us want to know them better—and to discover (and express in worship) the full emotional range of the Christian life. Learning to Love the Psalms is the ideal book for students in college or seminary, for musicians and pastors, and indeed for Christians of every shape and size. May it help to produce a new era of love for the Psalms!”

“My appreciation for the Psalter has grown over the years, largely through the influence of two teachers: John Calvin and Robert Godfrey. An aficionado of great writing, Dr. Godfrey often discovers details the rest of us miss. When we’re talking about the Word of God, that is a singular gift. I can’t wait to read every page of this with my family.”
