Psalms for Reading, Preaching and Teaching : Proclaiming and Applying Psalms to Yourself and Others

Have you felt overwhelmed when reading the Psalms? How often does their language seem strange, perhaps even at odds with the New Testament? All those searching for guidance in understanding how to approach the book of Psalms, how to "feel" the contemporary relevance of the Psalms, and how to communicate their truths to self and others, will benefit from this book. The opening chapters direct readers to critical information concerning grasping, studying, teaching, and worshiping with the Psalms. The inclusive discussions of each Psalm demonstrate how it is germane to modern readers, how to value it in its setting, how to proclaim it to others, and how to apply it realistically and illustrate it effectively. This volume will lead you "through the entire process of selecting, studying, proclaiming, and applying the Psalms to your audience, whoever they may be" (from the Foreword).
