Finding Jesus in the Psalms
A meaningful encounter with Jesus and the Psalms through the season of Lent with Barb Roose.
Barb Roose guides the reader through a meaningful encounter with the Psalms through the season of Lent. Combining an interpretation of the psalms with real life stories, the study moves through the familiar words of Psalm 23 toward the painful cries of Psalm 22 uttered by Jesus on the cross. The study includes reflections on the life of King David and the original context of the writings, along with connections between the psalms and the life and death of Jesus the Messiah.
“The Psalms provide a perfect framework for experiencing Lent through the verses that were Jesus’s own scriptures, offering both him and us strength and wisdom in a painful and redemptive season. The Book of Psalms hums with the heartbeat of our humanity with divinely inspired words that find purchase in the tenderest places in our hearts when our human words or wisdom fails us.” Barb Roose
Additional components to use the book as a six-week small group study include a leader guide and DVD/Video Sessions featuring Barb Roose.

April 2, 2023Actually read the print version. This years Lenten study, I found it a little forced and I am not a huge fan of finding Jesus in the Jewish Tanakh. That being said, Barb Roose is an excellent speaker during the accompanying videos to the weekly lesson and very sincere in her beliefs. And I enjoyed reading The Psalms.

An insightful Lenten Bible study exploring Psalms written by King David and how they parallel the life and resurrection of Jesus.
It is full of wisdom and sprinkled with humor.
A perfect weekly study to accompany you as you ponder the wonder of what Jesus did for us on the cross this Lenten season.
