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

By Benjamin Wayman

Book Overview

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.
