Enjoy reading and applying different types of psalms, and seeing Jesus in every one. Christopher Ash shows us how to read and apply the book of Psalms. He takes us through 15 pairs of psalms that represent various €˜types’-including some that are very familiar and some that are often ignored. He helps us to see how they are fulfilled by Jesus and therefore point to Jesus first and foremost, transforming how we read them, enjoy them and sing them. Christopher Ash comments that this understanding of the Psalms "can shape the dynamics of our Christian lives in ways that neither a dry and arid intellectualism nor a rootless emotionalism can do. The Psalms can make us Christians with deep feelings, deep emotions, deep thoughts, and deep desires."
