Reviews

A devotional commentary on each verse in Psalm 119 with specific applications for biblical counselors. Helpful and encouraging. However, in his attempt to combine commentary with counseling manual, I fear Adams did not quite accomplish either.

Read for my study on Psalm 119. A few good thoughts scattered throughout.
