How long? Why is this happening? Where are you, God? For centuries, God's people have learned to go to God with their real questions, struggles, and everyday needs by reading and studying the Psalms. In this practical, gospel-rich small group study, authors Barbara Miller Juliani and Patric Knaak guide participants in learning how the Psalms give us words to pray about the real struggles in our lives.
Enjoyed working through this study with the youth group over this past semester. Each week is divided into three sections: observation questions, an essay expositing the psalm with reflection questions, and a closing prayer activity. The activity was sometimes a little abstract for our teenagers but the first two sections were very solid and helpful for cultivating discussion.
Spent a year working through this with youth group. Was pleasantly surprised with how the discussion questions were able to pull out a lot of honest answers from 13-18 year old guys. Good book for stimulating honest dialogue in a group study & for growing in how to pray God's Word back to Him through the Psalms
