Make the Words Your Own: An Early Christian Guide to the Psalms

By Benjamin Wayman

The Psalms have been the prayer book of God's people for three thousand years. But many Christians today are at a loss for how to read the Psalms, and so are largely unfamiliar with how the Psalms can teach us to pray.
Make the Words Your Own: An Early Christian Guide to the Psalms recreates the earliest surviving Christian guide for personal devotion on the Psalms ever written--by pastor and saint, Athanasius. This book invites you to engage the Psalms just as you are--with the hope of becoming all you were meant to be in Christ.

A book of psalms, organized under subjects

To my eye, this is just a book of psalms organized under subjects like "psalms for the suffering." There is a single line introduction to each section. There is an introduction that promises scholarly work, but no subsequent chapters. Just eight groupings of psalms. A disappointment. I expected hstorical guidance as I read the psalms in the Bible. Nope.
