Life Lessons: Book of Psalms
Overview
The Psalms form a praisebook for God's people, a collection of hymns and petitions to lead us in worship. The variety found in the Psalms reminds us that worship is personal and, that while each worships differently, each should worship. With scripture reading, inspirational readings, questions to answer, space for journaling, and a prayer, it's like studying the Bible with Max Lucado.
Top Highlights
“There is no way on earth to explain it. Which perhaps is the only explanation. The answer? The Bible’s durability is not found on earth; it is found in heaven. For the millions who have tested its claims and claimed its promises, there is but one answer—the Bible is God’s book and God’s voice.” (Pages 4–5)
“Challenge participants to identify ways they can experience God’s rest more fully. The New Testament refers to Jesus as the Good Shepherd (John 10:11), the great Shepherd (Hebrews 13:20, 21), and the Head Shepherd (1 Peter 5:4).” (Page 39)
“God sends spiritual food the same way. He opens the heavens with just enough nutrients for today’s hunger” (Page 6)
“The purpose of the Bible? Salvation. God’s highest passion is to get his children home” (Page 6)
“Think of a time when you felt overwhelmed by fear. How did you cope?” (Page 23)
