Idols of the Heart

It is difficult to set aside time each day to pray and meditate on God's Word. And when we do, we feel a special attraction to the Psalms. There we find the Bible's songbook. Did you know that Jesus sang the Psalms in His daily life? He knew all 150 Psalms intimately and remembered them to face every situation, including His death.

Two decades ago, Tim Keller began the practice of reading all the Psalms every month. The Songs of Jesus is the fruit of years of study, discernment, and inspiration noted in his prayer notebooks. Kathy Keller learned to pray the Psalms during a time of prolonged illness. Together, Tim and Kathy have distilled the emphasis of each passage, inviting us to meditate on the great wisdom contained in the Psalms.

If you don't have a daily devotional life yet, this book can help you start. If you already spend time studying the Bible and praying each day, The Songs of Jesus will show you depths in the Psalms that you probably hadn't seen, with the purpose of leading you to a more intimate relationship with God.
