Publisher Description: This book is written to reawaken awareness of both the beauty of the psalms and their ability to speak with relevance to our contemporary culture--a generation in danger of losing the psalmist's voice. May this generation hear the voice of the psalmist pointing them to a God who desires honest expression, who comes close to listen to their cries, and points them to a deeper understanding of who he is and how he loves. |
Contributor Bio(s): Carpenter, Rhoda A.: - Living and studying in the Middle East provided a window into the vivid imagery in the psalms. Years of teaching Bible further deepened love of the psalms and led to greater awareness of the literary beauty and connection to the land from which the psalms originated. Daily reading of the psalms deepened the relevance of the psalms to address life's joys and sorrows. Academic credentials: Doctor of Ministry, Masters in Bible and Theology, Masters in Counseling, and Bachelor of Science. |
