"I love the Psalms; they always seem to echo my hearts thoughts. Reading the Psalms through in July and August was very important to me as I went through some life struggles, fears, worries etc... and as I read, I grew closer to God in many, many ways. I highly recommend taking a month or two and going through them- even if it's just a few chapters a day. Reading through them slowly is my preference anyway :)"
"We are studying Psalms in a bible class on Monday nights this fall and this book has been a good reference source for this class. The notes are detailed and informative and it brings life to these poems. Also discussing them with other people has made them come alive. These are are the best translations I have read compared to other bibles."
"This actually isn't the copy I read. The on ei have was done by a coligrapher ( I know I spelled that wrong) it was very ornate and beautiful. It took him 30 years to do."
