Publisher's Synopsis
Based on the Book of Psalms, this work considers our awareness of God in praise and worship, in despair and sorrow and in the recognition of our need of his mercy and loving kindness in our everyday lives. The contributors share their insights with us: what has helped them or has deepened their understanding, while shorter extracts, prayers and poems reflect on the experiences of people of faith through the centuries. Contributors include: Esther de Waal, Michael Nazir-Ali, Rachel Newton, Jonathan Sacks, Eluned Williams, Albert Jewell, Francis Dewar and Harold Good.
