Praise

This little volume is a perfect prayer companion. Rather than offer an updated translation of the psalms, Stevenson gives us short prayers that are paraphrases inspired by the psalms as well as other biblical texts. Readers who want to spend more time praying with the psalms but sometimes find that parts of their language and images present obstacles to close engagement will welcome this addition.
The Bible Today
The prayers, inspired by a Psalm or Scripture passage, are cries of the heart. Patricia captures through real and intimate conversations with God the spirit of praying the Psalms. This book is not for the bookshelf, it’s for the bedside table.
