Exquisite

Fr. Basil does a superb job in marrying his own reflections with the psalms. As a monastic, Fr. Basil has chanted these psalms daily for most of his adult life and it shows in his masterful and unique interpertations. If you are looking for fundamentalist commentary you should look elsewhere. If you are thirsting for creative and experienced insights, this is the book for you.
