Description: Focusing on a dozen psalms, Clint McCann leads readers through some of the church's favorite psalms as well as some lesser-known gems. Each chapter lets the reader understand the original meaning of the psalm and considers ways that our life of faith today can be enriched through these scriptural treasures.

Will you forget me forever?", Psalm 23, "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want", Psalm 32, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord", Psalm 51, " Have mercy on me, O God", Psalm 63, "My soul thirsts for you", Psalm 73, "Truly God is good to the upright", Psalm 90, "Teach us to count our days", Psalm 103, "Bless the Lord, O my soul", Psalm 139, "Oh Lord, you have searched me and known me", and Psalm 148, "Praise the Lord!"
