Summary: Invalueable information
Review: The Bible is the greatest book ever written. It was written over a period of approximately 1400 years, by 31 different authors, on 3 different continents. Its truths are timeless and lifechanging. Many of the Psalms are prayers that arose out author's own struggles. They are praises of worship to God, cries for deliverance from trouble, and petitions for forgiveness. There are Messianic Psalms that fortold of Christ and His sufferings. The stuggles of the authors of this book, most of the Psalms were written by David, are there for us to read. God called David, "A man after My own heart." Yet, God allows David's humanity to shine through giving us encouragement. God does not "sugarcoat" His heros. He does not just tell us of their mountaintop experiences. He also reveals their humanity. David is a model for us. We need to rely on God and trust Him, not just in good times but also in bad. The Book of Proverbs is full of practical maxims for everyday life. The vast majority of them were written by Solomon, David's son. Heed this advice and you will do well. The Bible is not just great literature. It is God's Word.
