Women Living the Psalms: A Guide to Everyday Spirituality - Paperback

by Karen Kaigler-Walker (Author)

Psalms is the most read and loved book in the Bible because it speaks to people about living their daily lives in God and with God like no other book in the Bible. For women, when they begin to live the words of the psalmists, not just read or hear them, they begin a personal relationship and partnership with God that addresses the ordinary ups, downs, and messiness of each day--one that speaks when dark times come, and they can't see a way out without God's help. Not only do psalms teach women how to praise, thank, ask for advice (wisdom), and live daily as God would have them live in community with others, but psalms also teach them how to be angry with God. They need this--they need to know that no matter what they think or say when they're hurt, confused, tired, or at their wit's end, God will not judge them in their humanness but, instead, will offer comfort, support, assurance, guidance, and love. Come, learn how to live the Psalms.
