Praises Prayers & Curses (Conversations with the Psalms)

Richard Schmidt has blessed us with a wonderful book providing challenging and insightful perspectives on all the psalms, and what they have to say to us today. He does a masterful job of tackling even those troubling psalms that seek vengeance on one's enemies. The psalms are designed to help people in all types of situations, when we are praising God, when we are angry at God, or when we are in despair over either our own conduct or those of others. Richard Schmidt shares with us his rich life experiences, and how at various times, he, just like us, can understand and identify with the gamut of emotions that we face in life in our relationship with God and others. I invite you to share Richard Schmidt's journey through the psalms; taking that journey with him will result in a rich and bountiful harvest. As it states on the back of the book, it is destined to become a treasure for all who seek to serve God in their confusing and broken world. Sharing in the author's encounters will encourage each one to re-examine what it means to be in relationship with God.
