Hayden Mills’s Reviews > The Psalms: A Christ-Centered Commentary, Introduction: Christ and the Psalms > Status Update

The Psalms safeguard us from isolation, from idiosyncratic prayers, they teach us how to praise, they teach us about our emotions, they shape our affections, they reform us, cure us, reorder our desires.

I feel like there needs to be a spiritual formation book based on the Psalms. There probably is already.

"The Holy Spirit, the greatest and best poet, had already composed better and finer hymns, namely, the precious psalms, to thank and praise God." Luther

Although I am not convinced of exclusive psalmody, this book is helping me see that the psalms should have a central place in worship

"For we expect that the regular practice of thoughtful, heartfelt singing of Psalms to one another is an instrument God uses to contribute to a rich fullness of the Holy Spirit in our lives and churches."
