Summary
As we work to define the beliefs that make up our own personal theologies, we search for resources that will us help find answers to the most difficult questions. The Book of Psalms offers glimpses of understanding which can guide us along the way. In straightforward, accessible language, Daniel Polish draws from the Book of Psalms to discuss establishing a relationship with God, dealing with our mortality, understanding the presence of evil in the world, and other tough questions we must face on our spiritual paths. Keeping the Faith with the Psalms does not give any simple solutions, but explains how you can discover answers for yourself through the Psalms. Compelling and richly informative, this book is ideal for those who have read the Book of Psalms but were not clear on what it was saying, people struggling with their theological beliefs, and anyone who has an interest in gaining a deeper understanding of the Book of Psalms.
