Treasures in the Psalms

by Henry M. Morris, Henry M. Morris III

Treasures in the Psalms is a nifty study of the Psalms, grouping them by theme, rather than chapter number. Dr. Morris explains the message and methods used in all of the Psalms. The Psalms speak of the creation, the messiah, the second coming, and the millennium. Psalms has been a book of blessing, encouragement, comfort, and joy for countless millions, and this book will also be a blessing for its readers.

Treasures in the Psalms by Dr. Henry Morris is a great resource for any Christian library. It includes an overview of the history of the Psalms as well as the structure of the Psalms. He covers roughly half of the Psalms in topical order, which is divided into 9 sections. My favorite section is part 2, the Prophecies of Christ in the Psalms. The text reads like a devotional-style commentary. I would certainly recommend this to any reader wanting to gain a better understanding of the Psalms.

While not tackling every Psalm, this devotional touches on many with accompanying commentary from a man, who while he believed Genesis to be the most important book of the Bible, his favorite book was Psalms.

That being said, Psalms has never been my "favorite" book of the Bible. I tend to agree with the Jane Eyre character when she replies to why she doesn't like them; she states, "Psalms are not interesting." After reading the Morris collection, I would not state that I've become a new fan but rather because of the collection and commentary, I have a new appreciation for the Psalms -- and even a few new favorites.
