John Eaton compares reading the Psalms to walking in the mountains: ‘Time and time again you see a new crest to climb, but the summit remains beyond.’
In Psalms for Life he explores the poetry as a never failing source of challenge, comfort and encouragement. Beginning with Psalm 1 and continuing through to Psalm 150, he provides a short reflection on each psalm, explaining the poet’s essential message, and ending with a brief meditative prayer. Readers are helped to identify with the wide range of emotions expressed in the Psalms and to pray for God’s loving guidance in dealing with them from day to day.
