Description

Experience fresh connections to contemporary worship and devotional practices in this eight-session video-based study of Psalms with Bible scholar Sandra Richter (streaming video included).

The book of Psalms is well-known and well-worn. It is the Old Testament book most often quoted in the New Testament, and its quotations can be found everywhere from John Milton to Star Trek to Congressional speeches. Why so much attention The Church Father Athanasius said it bestmost of Scripture speaks to us, but the Book of Psalms speaks for us.

• An individual access code to stream all eight video sessions online.
• The study guide itselfwith discussion and reflection questions, video notes, and study sections.
• Illuminated manuscript activities.
• In-depth breakdown of specific psalms.
• And the physical DVD.

• How you can trust God with all your emotions: grief, anger, praise, fear, and hope.
• How and why the people of Israel used the Psalms in worship.
• Why the book of Psalms is critical in our devotional lives today.
• How the Psalms can deepen your prayer life.
