Synopsis

The Book of Psalms is one of the longest books in the Bible and it contains a variety of prayers, reflections and invitations. These are all in poetic form and are filled with images and sayings which inspire us and allow us to touch a range of emotions. The variety within the psalms corresponds to the fluctuations of life. Laments express the pain of loss or abandonment. Hymns give voice to the joys of creation and the newness of life.

In A Friendly Guide to the Book of Psalms, Mary Reaburn offers us a way into this extraordinary resource, seeing it as ancient yet ever new, reflecting the highs and lows of life and seeing these as intimately related to God. This poetry has been prayed by Jews and Christians for thousands of years and still prompts us to question and to pray.

This latest Friendly Guide invites the reader to dialogue with the text and ultimately to enter into dialogue with God, the creator, the refuge, the absent-one, the king and the confidant.
