Condition: New

The whole Bible teaches truth and awakens emotions, but the Psalms are in a category of their own. they do not just awaken the heart; they put in in the foreground. They do not merely invite our emotions to respond to God's truth' they put our emotions on display.The Psalms are more than commanding - they are contagious. We are not just listening to profound ideas and feelings. We are living among them in their overflow. We touch pillows we with tears. We hear and feel the unabashed cries of affliction, shame regret, anger, discouragement, and turmoil. But what makes all this stunningly different from the sorrows of the world sis that all of it - absolutely all of it - is experienced in relation to the totally sovereign God.This book is an invitation. God wants our hearts. He Will take them as he finds them. And then, with the healing contagion of the Psalms, he will shape them. Accept his invitation to come.
