The Songs of Jesus: A Year of Daily Devotions in the Psalms

Publishers:

Redeemer; Viking

, 2015

Overview

The Book of Psalms is known as the Bible’s songbook—Jesus knew all 150 psalms intimately, and relied on them to face every situation, including his death.

Two decades ago, Tim Keller began reading the entire Book of Psalms every month. The Songs of Jesus is based on his accumulated years of study, insight, and inspiration recorded in his prayer journals. Kathy Keller came to reading the psalms as a support during an extended illness. Together they have distilled the meaning of each verse, inviting readers into the vast wisdom of the psalms.

If you have no devotional life yet, this book is a wonderful way to start. If you already spend time in study and prayer, understanding every verse of the psalms will bring you a new level of intimacy with God, unlocking your purpose within God’s kingdom.

“Lord, I confess there was a time in which the idea that my days were ‘ordained’ in ‘your book’ felt limiting to me. But as time goes by, and I can see how limited our wisdom is, my only hope becomes reliance on yours. I praise you that I am fearfully and wonderfully made!” (Page 350)

“So to be intimidated by the world (Psalm 2) is as spiritually fatal as being overly attracted to it (Psalm 1).” (Page 2)

“We must let our marriages reveal Christ, not replace Christ.” (Page 95)

“Here are two crucial biblical truths that must be held together—everything we do is part of God’s plan, yet we are never coerced and are completely responsible for our actions.” (Page 268)
