Praying with the Psalms: A Year of Daily Prayers and Reflections on the Words of David

Nice devotional on the Psalms in daily readings.

This book is part of my nightly devotional practice, and, as usual, Eugene Peterson's insights to the psalms make them even more relevant.

Interesting

I bought this for a friend who lost his wife. I was hoping it would help him every day, and the price was on point.

Eugene Petterson was an incredible littersl writer with comments regarding the word of God for everyday life.

I own 9 devotionals but this is by far my favorite.Each day I can read 1 minute of a Psalm and reflect on the comment or reflective prayer.Only issue I found in my copy was a duplicate set of pages of February 14-19 right next to each other, but no harm done, you just skip over those couple pages and February 20 and onward continues.I would buy this again and recommend it to everyone I know.

This book is a favorite of mine! One year, as I read a psalm a day, I had this book in my hands, every day of that year. It has 365 devotional thoughts and prayers from the Psalms. It’s just what someone would want, if they’re prayerfully “reading” and launching their prayers from the Psalms, the “Church’s prayer book”; excellent, if you’re not in need of in-depth commentary on the Psalms but open to pithy, devotional, and inspirational thoughts from one of America’s prominent pastors.

This is a great day- to- day book to quickly read one Psalm and gain a deeper understanding of specific passages within a longer Psalm. I love this book and would recommend it to beginning Bible readers to make the Psalms more approachable but also for more experienced Bible readers to get a new twist on supplemental prayers or insights into the themes the Psalmist addresses. This is a very light and portable book, it's easy to throw into a purse or a backpack or briefcase for "on the go" study.
