Connects the poetry of the Psalms to real-Life wonders and struggles. -- Bono, from the Afterword A book that you will want to read and read again, and yet again, in order to discover the wisdom of the Psalms that shows us how to walk in the life-giving way of Jesus.
He might have called the book Naked , because if you don\'t find your own self feeling a little exposed here, it might be time to take some armor off.
He really goes there, exposing himself before God in the most beautiful way.
David Taylor\'s take is \'Open and unafraid\' alright.
Open and Unafraid shows us how to read the Psalms in a fresh, life-giving way, and so access the bottomless resources for Life that they provide.
In it, we learn about prayer and poetry, honesty and community, justice and enemies, Life and death, nations and creation.
In reading it, we discover that we are never alone in our joys, sorrows, angers, doubts, praises, or thanksgivings.
How can we find a more transparent, resilient, and fearless Life of faith? The book of Psalms has been central to God\'s people for millennia, across all walks of Life and cultural contexts. -- Eugene Peterson Afterword by Bono.
