Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

For the times when prayer doesn't come easily--a devotional prayer book focusing on the psalms, the most sensitive and honest words written about daily stress and daily blessing.

From the Back Cover

Prayer is both our most human action and our most human language. But, as with any other language, we may find ourselves clumsy and undisciplined in our attempts at it. Praying with the Psalms can help Christians become fluent in the language of prayer, encouraging us to pray even when we don't feel like it, and to learn prayers that are both honest and right. Based on the life and words of David, the Psalms provide insightful reflections on depression, anger, frustration, fear, and insecurity, as well as joy exhilaration, triumph, and gladness. Praying with the Psalms offers daily readings to guide us in expressing to God the wide range of human emotions. Through this enriched communication with God, we are led to a deeper understanding--and a truer following--of his will.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very encouraging when you are struggling each day with depression
Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2022
Verified Purchase
I own 9 devotionals but this is by far my favorite.
Each day I can read 1 minute of a Psalm and reflect on the comment or reflective prayer.
Only issue I found in my copy was a duplicate set of pages of February 14-19 right next to each other, but no harm done, you just skip over those couple pages and February 20 and onward continues.
I would buy this again and recommend it to everyone I know.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Favorite book of mine
Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2019

This book is a favorite of mine! One year, as I read a psalm a day, I had this book in my hands, every day of that year. It has 365 devotional thoughts and prayers from the Psalms. It’s just what someone would want, if they’re prayerfully “reading” and launching their prayers from the Psalms, the “Church’s prayer book”; excellent, if you’re not in need of in-depth commentary on the Psalms but open to pithy, devotional, and inspirational thoughts from one of America’s prominent pastors.

For the first 65 years of my life, I avoided the Psalms because I didn't understand them. Then I stumbled onto this book and it has become part of my daily devotional for the last 6 months. Eugene Peterson is teaching me to appreciate the poetry, artistry, intense feeling, and power of the Psalms. This book is a life-changer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great intro to the Psalms
Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2019
Verified Purchase
This is a great day- to- day book to quickly read one Psalm and gain a deeper understanding of specific passages within a longer Psalm. I love this book and would recommend it to beginning Bible readers to make the Psalms more approachable but also for more experienced Bible readers to get a new twist on supplemental prayers or insights into the themes the Psalmist addresses. This is a very light and portable book, it's easy to throw into a purse or a backpack or briefcase for "on the go" study.

As only Peterson could do it. He uses clear and concise words to reveal the deep truths found in the Psalms. I use it to begin my almost every day, and it continues to bless my spiritual life.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple Contemplative Daily Prayerbook
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 12, 2016
Verified Purchase
This is a very thoughtful and helpful book of daily prayers - I have been using it to pray through the Psalms each morning.
Readers of Eugene Peterson's spiritual theology books may be expecting something more meaty, and so may people who use regular Bible reading notes (by Scripture Union or the like), but this is something different from both those things. This is a short, contemplative, "bite-size" way of opening up the prayers found in the Psalms, to help them become your own daily prayers. Readers used to the daily office will be able to relate to this.
