Favorite Psalms: Growing Closer to God

He focuses on about 40 of the Psalms. Each treatment is rather brief, but he packs good insights in most every time. This is classic Stott -- theologically rich, practically oriented, concise, clearly written. This is a must have for any study of teh Psalms. It often has been my favorite work on certain psalms. I use Derek Kidner (Tyndale set) for dependable reference. Boice is often very helpful though uneven and sometimes irrelevent (a tad less Christocentric than you'd hope); James Mays (Interpretation series) is wordy and often too critical of the text, but often original; CS. Lewis -- spotty but often wonderful; Joseph Addison Alexander -- long, dry, dated, but very learned and theological; Eugene Peterson's Answering God -- nota commentary, but wonderful inisghts. If I had just two, I'd pick Kidner and Stott.
