Psalms & Songs of Scripture

This book is presented as a unique means of tracing Biblical history, counsel, and life challenges, highlighting their spiritual significance for today. The reader is taken on a journey from Genesis to Revelation as the entire scope of the major themes of the Old and New Testaments are encountered. The poems introduce, in turn, the Bible's main characters and their stories, their messages, related events, and their impact on daily life.A brief commentary relating to textual information introduces each poem, so they can be used as a guide to Bible study, both personal or in small group settings.THE PSALMS relate to the original modes of Hebrew poetry but here transposed into the rhyme and rhythms of modern poetic genres.THE SONGS have been drawn from selected Scriptural prose which is of such depth, meaning, and current value, that its theme resonates in the soul. All the poems are supplied with a suggested traditional hymn tune so that they may be sung in a Church setting, for example, to support the Biblical theme of the day.
