Praise for this book
"The country of the Psalms--its soaring mountains, cascading streams, wildflower meadows of prayers--compels exploration. Jim Sire's wide-ranging intelligence, fused with his attentive spirit, makes him a welcome guide through this country, opening our eyes and ears--our hearts!--to these prayers that teach us to pray."
Eugene H. Peterson, author of A Long Obedience in the Same Direction and translator of The Message
"At times intimate, at times pastoral, but always focused, Sire here creates a solid study of the Psalter for use in Christian devotion, be it private or corporate."
Phyllis Tickle, author of The Divine Hours
