Description

The Puritans loved the Psalms because these sacred writings inform the mind, warm the heart, and shape conduct. Drawing from Charles Spurgeon's Treasury of David, David J. McKinley uses excerpts from over ninety Puritans and other Reformed writers in Puritan Insights on the Psalms. These insights are woven into each of the daily meditations which cover the entire Psalms in one year. Just as Spurgeon highly valued the Puritans, Puritan Insights provides an opportunity to also appreciate the depth of their understanding of the Psalms. With their insights, these daily meditations unfold the importance of the Psalms' songs and prayers and encourage readers to lift their voices with praises and laments to God. Each daily meditation includes an appropriate thematic prayer to use and amplify in readers' lives. Allow the Puritans and other writers to cultivate increased affection for God. Listen to the wisdom of these spiritual giants to know and experience the truth for daily living.

Endorsements

“In Puritan Insights on the Psalms, David McKinley offers profound insights into the spiritual mind of the Puritans and their dependence on the Psalms. These daily meditations will inspire readers to discover deep insights from Puritan authors, who viewed the Psalms as a core element of worship. As McKinley so brilliantly does in his other writings, each selection in this book ends with a beautiful prayer to guide readers through their day. I highly recommend McKinley’s newest book on the Psalms, and I believe that it will bring a great sense of spiritual depth to those who make it their daily devotional.”
—Ross Purdy, Senior Pastor, La Cañada Presbyterian Church, California

“Numerous people recognize the Psalms as the church’s prayer book, yet only a handful understand how to utilize them in this way. This remarkable book, drawing from the works of over ninety Puritan writers, directs readers toward a discovery long cherished by Christians: The Psalms provide an exceptional pathway to a vibrant prayer life.”
—Robert Covolo, Director, The Center for Faith and Work Los Angeles, California
