Journalling the Psalms by Paula Gooder

01 April 2022

PAULA GOODER’s Journalling the Psalms: A guide for reflection and prayer is a workbook to write in. A thoughtful guide to the Psalms, there is space for readers to record their thoughts alongside the passages of scripture. The author features 15 of her favourite psalms, and offers tips on how to meditate upon them. She provides a short overview of the history and context of each, and then invites the reader to stand back to ponder the whole psalm. Finally, she offers a series of questions designed to help deepen the reader’s understanding of God and themselves. (Hodder & Stoughton, £14.99 (Church Times Bookshop special price £12.99); 978-1-529-38005-7).
