THRIVE! Using Psalms to Help You Flourish
When it comes to reaching the heart, no other book in Scripture is quite like Psalms. It can be a constant, nourishing part of our spiritual life, in worship and communion with God. From the opening verse of Psalm 1, "Blessed is the man...," to the closing exhortation of Psalm 150, "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord," it brings comfort and restoration for our souls.
The psalms are rich and deep, touching our hearts and revealing the inner emotions and currents. When our hearts are filled with heartache, chaos, and contradiction, we may not need a list of things to do, a "how-to" book, or a code of discipline. Sometimes we just need connection--a lifeline we can cling to and follow back to safety--back to God.
The book of Psalms can be the source that fuels you to greater growth. Even if you have gotten discouraged and find yourself spiritually dry, it's time to stop simply surviving; let the psalms redirect, restore, and revive you--it's never to late to thrive!

This is the best book I have ever read about Psalms. Does what the subtitle promises… I decided to read psalms and pray through them and this book has helped my heart and inspired me in unexpected ways. I was having a hard time expressing feelings to God and while I was reading about inward and outward orientation on chapter 5 it really helped me be honest with God and get closer to him. This book has helped me be captivated by God’s word once again. Now I am a mother of a 1 year old and I intend to reread it again to make sure God still remains my first love.
