Product Details
Nan C. Merrill is the author of Psalms for Praying: An Invitation to Wholeness. As Madeleine L’Engle says, "The very liveliness of the Psalms causes us to want to say them in our own language. Nan Merrill has done this marvelously, and I'm grateful for this labor of integration and love." Every commentary on the Book of Psalms has had to face the issue that many of these prayers commemorate and celebrate wrath and vengeance. Psalms for Praying transforms the ancient texts into a work of piety and art. The needs of a world seeking to counter individual and societal injustices is addressed by Psalms for Praying showing that global peace is born of personal peace through prayer and practice.
In short, Psalms for Praying is a Book of Psalms recast in the light of the continuing revelation and evolution of the authentic religious spirit of the scriptures. In Psalms for Praying, Merrill reworks the Book of Psalms in a loving, contemplative manner, which betrays none of the original vigor or essence. Rather, in a mode that is fresh and eloquent, Psalms for Praying evokes the deep sense of reverence and soul-stirring dialogue with the divine that is often eclipsed by the fear of divine wrath in the original. Psalms for Praying is a paperback with 311 pages.
