Long after you've completed this study, the verses you've studied will be etched on your heart through the gift of music. Some of our loveliest praise choruses are psalms set to music. The enclosed compact disc from Integrity Music contains passages you will soon be singing, containing verses such as: bull; bull;Under the shadow of Your wings, I have found a hiding place. bull;I rise before the dawning of the morning, and cry for help-I hope in Your Word. bull;My Comfort, my Shelter, Lord there is none like You. How exciting to not only have an in-depth study of some of our most beautiful psalms, but to also be able to hear the psalms, as they were meant to be heard, set to music. This guide is one of a series, written by Dee, especially with the interest of women in mind. Women love the psalms for their poetry, their emotion, and their intimacy with God. If you want to fall deeply in love with the Lord, as David did, study the psalms!

Monda presents poetry that speaks of God in both feminine and neutral terms, revealing a feminine image of God that embodies the strong yet nurturing feminine persona.

This guide to the book of Psalms helps women understand the original context of each psalm and see their lives as part of the unfolding plan of God.

A Unique, Relational Way for Women to Read the Bible in a Year Many women feel overwhelmed at the thought of reading the Bible in a year. Diane Stortz found that it is not only possible but life-changing. Her journey from initial reluctance to excitement about reading the Bible will inspire readers to try it for themselves. Part of a women's group that read through the Bible each year for ten years, the author discovered the value of reading the Bible to get to know God better rather than viewing it only as a book to study. This guide will give women tools to read and discuss the Bible together, drawing them closer to God and each other. Includes a week-by-week reading plan, discussion guide, lists of what to look for, and motivational quotes.

Most Christians agree that it is important to have daily time with God, but many do not know how to do so. With A Place of Quiet Rest, engaging speaker and author Nancy Leigh DeMoss has taught tens of thousands of women how to attain a rich, consistent daily devotional life. In this companion devotional, she provides a valuable resource to spur readers on in her 30-day challenge to spend time with God. She has mined rich truth from thirty of her favorite Psalms and provided questions and suggestions to help readers develop a lifestyle of praise and worship.

This book is an exploration and interpretation of the diverse symbols and images that represent the sacred presence of God in the Book of Psalms. These images of sacred spaces and objects represent diverse conceptions of “the sanctuary” or sacred spaces, objects and texts that mediate God’s presence and bridge the gap between the ineffable nature of God as transcendent and beyond human comprehension and as immanently and intimately present in human experience. I explore the multivalent ways in which images of sacred spaces and objects facilitate prayer and contemplation. This book represents a valuable contribution to the study of Psalms and biblical theology, spirituality and prayer.

Foreword by Melissa Kruger A journey with the Psalms Helps us face the reality of our emotions

Reclaim the Psalms for true worship, as well as prayer, as you learn how to approach God with the emotional intensity of the ancient psalmists. Denise Dombkowski Hopkins combines the insights of scholarship on the Psalms with artwork, liturgy, song, and poetry, to give us a new way to use the Psalms in our life of faith together, to empower our corporate identity and revitalize our worship. She examines how the Psalms formed the worship of ancient synagogues and the earliest churches and how they can do the same for our churches today. Reflective questions bring worship leaders and individuals alike to a new awareness of the power of the Psalms to enrich public worship and private devotions with an honesty that does not turn away from the realities of suffering and anger.

Women are searching for wisdom beyond themselves, for discernment that makes God’s will and way clear for daily living. No books in Scripture hold more instruction for how to live according to divine wisdom than do Psalms and Proverbs, and these daily devotions mine their riches with choice, seasoned counsel. Blessed will be the woman who pursues this path to wisdom with passion and commitment.

Following the familiar and powerful style of the biblical Psalms, Gateley openly reflects on her own life and ministry, and ultimately on the nature of faith itself. With a poetOs eye and a believerOs heart, Gateley reveals the metaphysical in the practical, the mystical in the ordinary, the divine in the human. Her psalms are a call to recognize GodOs presence in each of our lives.
