Rating: Summary: Indispensible for Preaching the Lord's Prayer Review: James Adams has done a great service to the body of Christ. This is an excellent discussion of the theology of the imprecatory psalms with much practical help and exhortation. This book will open your eyes to not only the psalms but much of the New Testament and the Lord's prayer in particular. It's only real down side is that there is not author or Scripture index for the book itself. ...
Rating: Summary: Liturgy for the Conscience Impaired Review: Our modern liturgies are weak and insipid because we neglect the Scriptures in general and the Psalms in particular. We especially neglect the "nasty psalms" that are so "mean" like Psalm 2, Psalm 58, Psalm 59, and Psalm 137.Yet these are the very Psalms persecuted Christians and first the Jews of course have prayed for centuries. Why pray them? Because, Jesus said "Ask,Seek,Knock". God hears them and avenges His people. In our conscienceless society we don't believe that because "nobody" is sinful or needs punishment...unless it's a bible believing Christian of course. If you believe in prayer, get the book and pray these psalms. They're the perfect liturgy for our freewheeling society.
