Usually the Psalms are thought of in a strictly liturgical lense. The authors make the case that the images and metaphors in the Psalms also make wonderful preaching material. It didn't take much to convince me. I preached to my congregation from the Psalms during Lent 2007. I received good feedback, plus it was a spiritual blessing for me.

The introduction has so many helpful quotes from those who have preached the Psalms before us. I would recommend it just for that. It does have helpful tips on studying and preaching as well.
