“Hymns of the Heart” Now Ready to Order!
The book that I have been writing for a long time is now available. We are thrilled to let you know that Hymns of the Heart: Discovering God in the Psalms can now be ordered from our friends at Start2Finish books.
The book is not meant to be a verse-by-verse exposition of all 150 of the Psalms. Instead, I chose 35 that I feel help the reader connect more deeply with the Lord, and I tried to write in a fairly conversational style about each of the selected Psalms. Thanks to some amazing editing (which was very needed!), the book is designed to help the reader draw closer to the Lord. From the beginning through the end, the editors did a great job of helping that theme come through each chapter, and I am grateful for their effort.
We are also indebted to Dr. Jay Lockhart for his willingness to write the forward to Hymns of the Heart. His forward, the 35 chapters, and the final epilogue provide about 330 pages of material, all designed to help the reader understand more about the awesome God we serve. Our circumstances may be positive, negative, or even boring, but we can draw near to Jehovah through every circumstance if we will just seek Him. The inspired poems of the Psalms help us do that.
The description of the book, found on the back cover, gives a clearer picture of what we were trying to accomplish in writing this volume:
God is high and holy, but he is also near to his people. It can seem difficult at times for us to grasp how our King can also be our Friend. Perhaps no book of the Bible better demonstrates the desire to understand God than Psalms. Running the entire gamut of emotions, the writers of these great poems sought to draw near to God and both honor and know him. In doing so, they aid us in expressing our hearts and minds to God.
Hymns of the Heart walks the reader through 35 of these psalms, looking to the meaning of the original text while pointing to God’s majesty and glory. As you reflect on the Psalms, may your heart be drawn to the Lord and may you stand amazed at his love for his people.
The book is available in eBook, paperback, and hardcover editions. Even though the official release date is not until June 16, if you order the book now, it will ship out and you will receive it. We hope you will get a copy, and then spread the word about this new book.
eBooks are $9.99, while the paperback edition is $14.99. The book is about 330 pages in length and the folks at Start2Finish Books helped to make it a good looking and well-laid-out product. We appreciate all they are doing to help people study Scripture, and we are humbled they were willing to produce our book as part of their product line.
To learn more, or to order your copy, you can visit either Start2Finish books, or order it from Amazon.
