40 Days in the Psalms: Revised and Expanded Version

Newly revised edition with bonus content! For millennia, the Book of Psalms has served as both a hymnal and a prayer book for the people of God. The Hebrews made a practice of composing songs to commemorate the wonderful acts of God and the great events in their history. The hymns collected in the Book of Psalms acclaim the Lord as Creator, Sovereign, Redeemer, Sustainer, and Shepherd of His people. In addition to congregational hymns for corporate celebrations, the Psalms also include the personal prayers of individuals baring their souls to God. Thanks to the candor of David and the other writers, these prayers cover the gamut of every human emotion, from soaring ecstasy to crushing despair. No matter what your situation or your mood, there is likely to be a psalm that expresses what is in your heart. Christians throughout the centuries have found praying through the Psalms helpful in formulating their own prayers and deepening their relationship with God. Russell Board’s new and expanded version of 40 Days in the Psalms will help you encounter God in new and profound ways as you take this journey of prayer, worship, and lament.
