I Will Trust in You: A Companion to the Evening Psalms

by Michael Sadgrove (Author)

Synopsis

In the informative introduction to this beautifully written companion to the Evening Cycle of Psalms (as set out in the Church of England's Book of Common Prayer ), Michael Sadgrove reminds us that the Psalms have been central to public worship and personal prayer for the entire history of the church. They are indeed one of the world's greatest spiritual treasures, 'full of heartfelt utterances', in the words of Martin Luther, and as vital a source of comfort, challenge and inspiration to people of faith today as they have ever been. I Will Trust in You will greatly benefit anyone who wishes to engage more deeply with their riches.

Media Reviews
'Psalm 55 helps us not to expect religion to provide easy closure for the dilemmas that confront us. Rather, it invites us to see faith as a divinely given space in which to take the painful unfinished business that accumulates over a lifetime, and where we learn to live before God in both the light and the shadow. And if, overwhelmed by pain, or the threat of disaster, or the memory of betrayal, all we can manage is the psalmist's final whisper, but I will trust in you , the God who is enthroned from of old will assure us that it is enough.' From p xxx
