This Brief Journey - loving and living the Psalms of ascent

The Psalms of Ascents were sung by Israelites as they made their way to Jerusalem for the annual feasts of Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles. As pilgrim songs, they provide a way for believers to express their fears, needs, and aspirations as they journey through this life. These psalms are also the songs of Jesus. In this book and its companion volume, To Be a Pilgrim, discover how these ancient songs of Israel affect your faith today, point you to the future, and help you keep your eyes on Christ every step of the way.

This is a great read of unusual quality for its clarity, shrewd insights, and practical, pastoral stimulus. Each psalm is treated as an entity, with the Bible text always clearly in the driving-seat. Yet each is also related to the whole sweep of biblical theology and especially to the centrality of our Lord Jesus Christ. The contemporary applications are down-to-earth and realistic, as well as challenging and motivational, heart-warming, and spirit-uplifting. This is the best sort of expository Bible teaching, which I commend both very warmly and very gratefully for the blessing it has been to me. --David Jackman, past President of the Proclamation Trust, London, UK, and author of Teaching Isaiah
