Christopher Ash shows us how to read and apply the book of Psalms. He takes us through 15 pairs of psalms that represent various ‘types’—including some that are very familiar and some that are often ignored.
He helps us to see how they are fulfilled by Jesus and therefore point to Jesus first and foremost, transforming how we read them, enjoy them and sing them.
Christopher Ash comments that this understanding of the Psalms "can shape the dynamics of our Christian lives in ways that neither a dry and arid intellectualism nor a rootless emotionalism can do. The Psalms can make us Christians with deep feelings, deep emotions, deep thoughts, and deep desires."
You can read through this book as a normal book...work through it as part of your daily Bible-reading routine using the questions for reflection at the end of each chapter...or use it to help you teach this book of the Bible, whether in small groups or from the pulpit.
Written for people of every age and stage, from enquirers to new believers to pastors and teachers, this flexible resource is for you to:
- READ: As a guide to these gripping events, helping you to see Christ and marvel at God's power, plans and love.
- FEED: As a daily devotional to help you grow in Christ as you read and meditate on this portion of God's word.
- LEAD: As notes to aid you in explaining, illustrating and applying this book as you preach or lead a Bible study.
