Hardcover. ”These contemporary psalms utter the passionate human cry of a man to his maker. They are brimming with praise, despair, anger, doubt, trust-stolen from the heart of the modern world, yet in tones which resonate with an older devotional tradition. For many readers, these psalms will give voice to their deepest, most powerful intuitions.” (#3572) $395.00
