Description

Rhythms of the Inner Life uses the Psalms to explore the movements of the heart that are part of our life with God. This book doesn’t settle for arm’s-length discussion, but invites readers to experience more deeply the Psalms and their own inner lives. The movements of the heart change and nurture one another: longing and waiting stand in tension; trust underlies moments of peace as well as times of despair; awe and wonder yield to intimate conversation with God; celebration rings with thanksgiving and praise. 


The Psalms are a great treasure of the community of faith. For almost 3,000 years they have guided the people of God and helped them sing their praise and pain, their joy and doubt. They are a constant help in churches and chapels, in monastic cells, and in private corners. Sometimes the Psalms give us words to say what we don’t otherwise know how to say. Sometimes they open doors to understanding our experience or lead us into unexplored inward places. Always they lead us more deeply into the life for which we long.
