Through the Psalms: Meditations for Inspiration, Strength and Intimacy with the Good Shepherd by Derek Prince

Through the Psalms: Meditations for Inspiration, Strength and Intimacy with the Good Shepherd
ABOUT THE BOOK

101 Meditations with the Good Shepherd
· Discover the limitless peace and delight of God's Word
· Offers encouragement, inspiration, and inner strength
· Based on Derek Prince's personal meditations on the book of Psalms


A source of both comfort and worship, David's beautiful, raw melodies in the Psalms continue to echo across the centuries, resonating with the souls of each new generation. In these pages, beloved Bible teacher Derek Prince shares the encouragement, inspiration, correction, strength, vision, and comfort he found in these profound poems and songs through 60 years of study and meditation. Inspiring and practical, these 101 meditations take you through the entire book of Psalms, helping you
· put words to the deepest aches, longings, and desires of your heart
· revive your soul
· experience comfort in times of trials, pressure, and loss
· unearth hope and wisdom for the days ahead
· delight in the goodness and faithfulness of God

The same God who guided, comforted, and protected David guides, comforts, and protects you today. Whether you're walking through the valley or beside the still waters, these ancient words will bring joy to your heart, a light to your path, and solace to your soul.


MY THOUGHTS.....

This new book has everything I enjoy in a devotional! Short but powerful selections that feature God's Word, personal recollections from the author, and simple prayers for added inspiration. Author Derek Prince uses this format to showcase various psalms of David and offer "meditations for inspiration, strength, and intimacy with the Good Shepherd". I found the 101 devotions to be insightful and uplifting, so Prince definitely fulfilled his purpose!

I've always loved David's Psalms, so I'm thrilled to have this book to help me understand them more. Through the Psalms is a wonderful resource for my worship time.

I received a review copy from Chosen Books. There was no obligation for a positive review.

MY THOUGHTS.....

Are you a parent or grandparent who wants to encourage your young person to read the Bible more? Do you pray that they will grow in their love for God? This new Bible from Tyndale Bibles is a wonderful solution! Inspire for Kids NLT will invite children to read God's Word! And even though it's meant for ages 7-12, it's enjoyable for adults, including grandmothers like me!








Children in my Sunday school classes always love the story of the young boy with his 5 loaves and 2 fish. This illustration adds another dimension!







What are some of the special features I love? The text is easy to understand, wide margins allow space for jotting down notes, and it is crammed with intriguing facts, fun activities, and over 300 devotions. Line drawings of flowers, animals, and of course, Bible scripture are included for all who love to color, and the smaller size is just right for smaller hands. Kids will enjoy this Bible so much, they won't even realize how much they're learning!







This bible targets ages 7-12 but Jeremiah 29:11 is one of MY favorite verses. This is a line drawing I will enjoy coloring!









Inspire for Kids NLT is a beautiful Bible for both younger readers and tweens. It's perfect for gifts and a great addition to Sunday schools, youth groups, and church libraries!

I received a copy of this book from the publisher via FrontGate Media. There was no obligation for a favorable review.
