The first in an exciting new series on the Psalms and their transformative power in living a life full of emotions, dialogue, and reflection. The Psalms, a collection of 150 ancient Hebrew poems, songs and prayers, provide one of the richest accounts of humanity's relationship to God. They are dear to the hearts of many generations, particularly when people are navigating life's challenges and seeking joyful restoration. In the first of a five-part series, Marty Folsom, a leading relational theologian, invites the reader to contemplate each psalm, to hear its heartbeat, to discern its relational themes, to listen deeply into its intentions, and to reflect on the voices that speak when the psalms are unleashed. The reader will find a sanctuary to soak in the Psalms and allow their authentic selves to dwell with the God of grace and mercy. Ultimately, this is a spiritual guide that lets you know you are not alone. It takes ancient wisdom and crafts melodies and pathways that lead us to intimacy with our Companion Creator as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is an invitation to the art of bringing the Psalms to life.
