Understanding The Psalms: Come Up For Air

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

The Psalms offer their readers a breath of clean air, pushing out the pollution of the world and taking in the mindset of new creation. More than poetry or theology, these prayers help us to reorient our perspective and invite God's presence into our lives. Praying the Psalms is act of defiance against the toxic patterns of thinking that surround us, from the absence of God to the pressures of competition, greed, lies, despair, and numbness. The Psalms breathe new life into our souls, replacing anxiety with peace, greed with trust, and despair with passionate hope. This short study unpacks the transformative power of the Psalms for fresh insights and inspiration for prayer and life. By immersing ourselves in these ancient poems and the world they reflect, we can begin to re-create our world and be energised to make a difference.
