Praying the Psalms

A readable and powerful call by a leading Old Testament scholar to pray with and through the Psalms. Walter Brueggemann pushes his readers to recognize the full gamut of passions reflected in the Psalms: joy and exultation but also disappointment sorrow anger resentment even the desire for vengeance.<br /> <br /> We are invited into a daring relationship with the God who calls us to pray with honesty. In the spiritual classic readers are guided into a thoughtful and prayerful encounter with God through the Psalms.<br /> <br /> This new edition includes a thoroughly revised text new notes and new bibliography.<br /> <br /> <i>In Praying the Psalms Brueggemann carefully guides us away from the bland colours of contemporary culture and into the ancient and extreme world of praise and lament. This is essential reading.</i><br /> Ian Stackhouse Senior Pastor Guildford Baptist Church<br /> <br /> <br />
