– From the Introduction
· A spiritual manifesto by one of the world’s most popular Christian writers
· A passionate case for putting the Psalms back at the centre of Christian prayer and worship

A characteristic blend of learning, personal insight and spiritual perception. This book will be of enormous help to Christians who want to know how to make fuller use of one of the greatest scriptural resources for prayer.

– Scot McKnight, author of The King Jesus Gospel
All our greatest treasures have a way of getting lost – then rediscovered. I can think of few greater treasures than the great songbook of the songs. I can think of no one better suited to explaining why and how they are to be treasured than Tom Wright.
