Read the Psalms & Proverbs again. . . for the very first time. Experience the most often-read books of the Bible in a fresh, eye-opening way. The books of Psalms and Proverbs are presented in a thirty-one day devotional format. Each daily devotional includes readings from both Psalms and Proverbs that are selected to inspire and instruct. The Psalms pull every scrap and dimension of human expeience into the presence of God, and the Proverbs sharpen our insights into every day life. Peterson’s version will challenge you to see God’s Word in a whole new light.
