for All Seasons
Author/Editor: John F.
Cragham
Publisher: Liturgical Press
Retail Price : $6.95
Publisher website : www.litpress.org
Audience: Adults - Academic - Youth
Medium: Book
Book Description: How do the
Psalms speak to today\'s believers? How
can the psalms enhance the prayer life of such
believers? This book seeks to provide
some answers to these and similar questions.
By examining fifty-five psalms, the author
addresses different stages in the life of the
individual and the community. Some
psalms speak to our moments of balance and
harmony. Others look to our times of
disaster and disillusionment. Still
others reflect on God's capacity to surprise
and change our lives in new and unexpected
ways. There are indeed Psalms for All
Seasons.

Audience : Adults - Academic
Medium : Book
Book
Description : “The
Exposition
of the Psalms in Sister Maria
Boulding's fine translation fills a long
existing vacuum among the translated works of
Augustine available to contemporary readers.
Her clear and attractive translation presents
Augustine's expression of his own
spirituality, which necessarily entails his
most valuable theological insights. The
comprehensive and scholarly 51-page
introduction [in vol. 1] by Michael Fiedrowicz
offers a key to the Psalms’ various depths
of meaning and shows how they are a microcosm
of Augustinian thought.”

T. Clark, RSCJ, Author of: Augustine

Book
Description: A handbook on the psalms that
brings together biblical research and a
variety of prayer exercises tailored to
different kinds of psalms. Readily adapts for
personal and group prayer, study and retreat.
"This immensely useful volume contains a
wealth of practical advice that makes the
spiritual treasure of the Psalms readily
accessible to both individuals and groups.
Few books on the subject move so effortlessly
and so successfully between modern critical
scholarship, the long and varied
tradition of the Psalms\' use, and creative
contemporary approaches to these texts.
The result is an ecumenically sensitive and
theologically rich work that brings the
complex human reality out of which one prays
into a fruitful conversation with the God who
is both the ultimate source and
hearer of that prayer."
—Harry Nasuti, Professor of Biblical Studies
and Chair, Department of Theology, Fordham
University
"This is truly a beautiful book, one
which anyone seeking a more profound prayer
life will appreciate."
—Spiritual Book News
"...a balance of good scholarship and
creative spiritual practice...[a] superbly
crafted resource for praying the psalms....an
ideal resource for church study groups and
retreats....A Retreat with the Psalms engages
head, heart and hands in creative ways that
press beyond an analytical approach to Bible
study and plumb the depths of human experience
through praying the psalms. It is well
organized, written in a style easily
accessible to the non-specialist, and full of
creative, practical ideas that stimulate the
intellect and satisfy the soul."

The
Psalms, Prayers of Many Moods
Author/Editor:
Ronald Quillo
Publisher: Paulist Press
Order No: 0-8091-3843-3
Retail Price: $19.95
Publisher website: www.paulistpress.com
Audience: Adults
Medium: Book
Questions: Yes
How many questions: 150
Book
Description: The Book of Psalms, NRSV version,
arranged with a prosaic explanation of each
psalm alongside the text of the psalm.
Includes questions for reflection and
suggestions for prayer. So often we hear
the expression "You need faith, not
feelings." Yet feelings can't be denied.
This fresh new work shows how joining one's
current or desired emotion with an individual
psalm can be used to illuminate, energize, or
even redirect one\'s spiritual journey. The
book is backed by theology, psychology, and
contemporary scholarship yet is written simply
enough that all readers will find truths for
their immediate life. This is a unique
interactive way of praying the Psalms. Using
the New Revised Standard Version, the full
text of each psalm is arranged alongside the
author's brief, easy-to-read reflections,
questions, and suggestions for prayer. An
overview of the psalms and the major emotions
of each is provided so that just the right one
can be quickly found for a given moment or
mood. The author offers both negative images
to allow venting of emotions and positive
images to redirect one's thoughts.
Uplifting and inspirational, this work is for
anyone who wants a heightened sense of
well-being and self worth. It's especially
appropriate for spiritual seekers, religious
and clergy, Bible and prayer groups, religion
teachers, confirmation classes, and retreat
directors.
