Treasuring the Psalms

<P><B>The book of Psalms is a treasure.</B> These one hundred and fifty inspired poems have shaped the worship prayers and theology of God's people for thousands of years. While many of its riches are readily apparent a deeper look into the nature and purposes of the book reveals further layers of meaning with abundant implications for the Christian life.</P><P>In <I>Treasuring the Psalms</I> Ian J. Vaillancourt orients readers to the Psalms and lays out a pattern for deeper study and application. From the composition of individual psalms through the shaping of the entire book he argues the Holy Spirit guided the creation of a work that is truly greater than the sum of its parts. In particular Vaillancourt shows how the Psalms point to Christ and provide practical insights for the church community and individual Christians.</P><P>Through these canonical Christological and practical emphases readers will gain new viewpoints into the flow context and message of the Psalms as well as gospel-centered applications for a living faith.</P>
