Can the psalms help us to pray? Writing from her own experience, the author has no hesitation in recommending their use.
There is much richness, variety and beauty in the psalms. There is also much that responds to our longings and needs and, as they are part of Scripture, we believe that the Holy Spirit inspired their writers. From the time of King David, the psalms have been used by Jewish believers. Christians adopted them, and today continue to pray them. In this book, the author tries to help in an opening out to God. She first considers Our Lady's Magnificat. There follow sections highlighting individual psalms and giving thoughts about interpretation, God, creation, Christ, sin, conversion and confidence leading on to thanksgiving and praise. The Conclusion gives some practical ideas for praying the psalms
