Description

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.… (more)

others. The acknowledgements told of life issues that almost resulted in the book's failure to be completed on time. Some manuscripts were rejected. The final one was edited extensively to get it to make it the proper length. One cannot help but wonder what insightful nuggets may have been eliminated in the revision process. While I did not agree theologically on every devotion, particularly on the interpretation of things relating to the nation of Israel, it provided more depth than many devotion books. Fortunately the ones on which I agreed, far outnumbered the others.
