150: Finding Your Story in the Psalms

by Kevin Adams

Sung, whispered, shouted, and groaned by Muslims and Jews, Protestants and Catholics, Bob Marley and J. S. Bach, the Psalms express the faith of a thousand generations. People have used psalms to voice their deepest anguish and delight, to comfort others, to express emotions they hardly dare to admit.

In this book Kevin Adams shares stories of unlikely psalm prayers and an unpredictable God, opening up the honest and earthy world of the psalms in new and unexpected ways. And he invites us to find our own story within that community of faith.

Reading this book you will find yourself underlining an especially poignant verse here or jotting notes in the margin there, as the psalms come alive through the stories of those who have used and abused them through the centuries.

[Madeline Chrome · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read this book for my senior seminar on the Psalms. Reading it alongside course instruction helped give the content some depth context, but I think just reading this book by itself would have been less meaningful and, at times, problematic.
