I can tell a lot of heart, energy, effort, and time went into this book. To research and give notes and thoughts on all the psalms and then write personal prayers for each one must have been quite the task to see through to the end. For that, I tip my cap. The book does feel old though, plain and simple. The references and voice are what really made it feel that way, and it made reading this bigger devotional feel, at times, sluggish and unengaging.

5 stars for the book of Psalms, 4 stars for the commentary because it was sometimes very cheesy. It has been so sweet to take a deeper dive into this book of the Bible that I often breeze through. It points to Jesus, emphasizes God’s steadfast love and truth for all people, and gives us so many prayers and praises for our Creator.

My wife and I read aloud two palm meditations each day as our devotions as a couple. Will is also a dear friend, so we felt like he was there with us enjoying his insights for the biblical text. The volume is so well written and organized, we are likely to read it through again in the future.

Dr. Varner's dedication to biblical scholarship and his devotion to God are both evident in this book. It is a wonderful example of the Holy Spirit's use of academic knowledge to lead one to adoration. Truly, as I read through each Psalm and Dr. Varner's comments, the awesomeness of God was put on display, and I could do nothing but adore, praise, and worship Him.

This is an excellent devotional commentary that every Christian should read for the pure purpose of praising our Messiah, occupying our minds with Him, adoring our King, and delighting in His Word!
