Book description
The psalms are among the most sublime poetry in the world, offering
us inexhaustible wells of meaning. Herbert O'Driscoll adeptly dips
into their sacred depths and draws up sparkling insights to refresh
the soul. Our contemporary spirits can feel at home in the world of
psalms. All of human experience is there - joy and sadness, love and
anger, trust and despair. The gift of the psalms lies in their
challenge to us; they invite us into dialogue with them and with the
God who inspired them. The psalms guide us to express our deepest
feelings to God, and their response floods the soul with assurance.
Justice is done. Healing takes place. Grace is given.
Praise for God with Us: The Companionship of Jesus in the
Challenges of Life: "God with Us, approached in a
spirit of openness and honesty, can be transforming. Its thought is
deep but its language is accessible - written with sensitivity and
spirituality." -Montreal Anglican
