Jubilant Praise


Book Description




Praises, Promises, and Provisions


Book Description

The challenge is on! A challenge between student and teacher has them searching through the Book of Psalms for the praises, promises, and provisions contained within. Little did this teacher know that God had some specific lessons for her to learn during her search. In Praises, Promises, and Provisions, author Kathy O’Brien shares a journey through Psalms and what she discovered. She seeks to answer some of the following questions: Does the psalmist praise God in any way? What is he praising God for? Is there a promise from God shared in the psalm? Is it a promise we can claim, too? Does God provide something for the psalmist? Does God provide food, shelter, help, strength, wisdom, or any other thing for the psalmist? Through a scavenger hunt of sorts, Praise, Promises, and Provisions helps Christians discover the blessings God provided for the psalmist in the Book of Psalms and thus for all those who believe.




Praises, Prayers, and Curses


Book Description

Schmidt presents a bold yet refreshing prism of grace on each of the 150 most misinterpreted songs in all of Scripture. Countering the notion of the Psalms as meek, mild, and honey-coated, he tackles the despair and hurt of the psalmists head-on, wrestling intimately with some of his own dark places. The result is as if to see the Psalms for the first time -- or for the uninitiated, to see in them God's truth and wisdom for his people in all times and seasons.




Prayer


Book Description

This book is a comprehensive, profound and immediately accessible book which opens the way for all to increase their understanding and develop their practice of prayer. Richard Foster explores the riches of the historical classics of prayer as well as his own personal experience. No one who reads Prayer will remain unmoved; all will find encouragement within its pages.




Praise and Lament in the Psalms


Book Description

Praise and lament are two major approaches to praying to God. In this book, Claus Westermann investigates these primary categories of the Psalms and shows their meaning for prayer and worship. He contrasts the Old Testament Psalms with those of Babylon and Egypt indicating their distinctive characteristics. Sensitively written and carefully reasoned, Westermann's book will be valued for the clear-cut way it brings light to the character of the ancient Psalms of Israel.
