In this thorough and engagingly written book, John Hargreaves takes us deeper into the Psalms, their word and their meaning both for the writers and for us today. His clear exposition is matched by his deep understanding of the Psalms, as historical documents and living prayers of the soul, resulting in a book that is ideal for those studying the Psalms academically or exploring them devotionally. A Guide to Psalms is not only to be read but to be used: at the end of each section there is a range of questions to aid reflection, making this a book to which readers will return again and again, finding fresh insights and new depths in these powerful ancient texts.
