What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“John Calvin called the book of Psalms a ‘mirror of the soul.’ The psalmists want us to pray these poems as our own prayer to God. They thus help us articulate our heart to God and they minister to us by drawing us close to him. Josh Moody does a masterful job of leading us through the psalms of ascent in a way that touches and transforms our life.”
—Tremper Longman III, Robert H. Gundry Professor of Biblical Studies, Westmont College
