A Guide to the Psalms of David contains the first ever detailed index classifying each of the 150 psalms within four meaningful categories (theme, purpose, mood, and for whom intended). Finally there is a true road-map to the wisdom of the psalms--for individuals for guidance, inspiration, and comfort; scholars for research; clergy for a prayer services/sermons. Equally important, its lyrical but modern English translation (with each psalm beginning on a new page and each verse centered for readability) is geared to engage one's heart--to inspire, to help one find solace, or as a aid to receive a new awareness. And with a biography of David and a chapter that describes the events that resulted in the composition of 19 psalms, readers should gain a very important perspective not always obvious: how despite tremendous adversity, David always retained his faith.
