Welcome to Litsy!

The German title of this book is a bit confusing, I prefer the original English one, since it states more clearly what this book is about. In German it's called “Praying with the Psalms“, which states something totally different than what Lewis is writing about.

I recommend the book to readers who know their Bible, Lewis assumes that those who read this book know the Psalms and the Bible verses he refers to. Lewis' thoughts about the Psalms ⬇

As usual, I really appreciate Lewis‘s perspective💕

After reading Harold S. Kushner‘s 9 Essential Things I‘ve Learned About Life, I wanted to read more about the psalms. C.S. Lewis is not an author I‘m wild about but this book was tolerable. It‘s nice to read a man of unshakeable faith still be reasonable about evolution and science. But of course Lewis is British with none of our American fanaticism. “The shadows have indicated (at least to my heart) something more about the light.” - C.S. Lewis

Guys, I've been on such a C.S. Lewis kick lately. I'd like to read everything he's ever written. I just finished this #audiobook, and it was lovely. A concise, introductory discussion of the Psalms, including their types, problems, and ways to read them. It makes me want to go reread the Psalms now! Also, #audiostitching is progressing!
