                                              INTRODUCTION
              “The Psalms of David,
                                                                              So states John Adams in a letter to
            Thomas Jefferson. Were Adams alive today, 200 years later, it is unlikely he would change a word.
            For The Psalms of David live on. They are both universal and eternal.
                                                                                              BestBucktListAdventure
                                                                                                                    BestBucktListAdventure

              Although typically thought of as hymns of praise to God, the psalms are so much more. They are
            invoked to comfort and instruct; to lament and inspire; to bless, and yes, even to curse. The psalms
            praise, plead, instruct, reflect, recount, and chastise. In tone, they span the gamut of human emotions
            from ecstasy to despair, indignation to remorse, grief to relief, fear to awe, and rage to love. They
            talk about the rewards of righteousness, the pitfalls of evil, the grandeur of the universe, and the
            corruption of mankind. In metaphors and poetry unsurpassed, The psalms depict God's Might and
            His Benevolence; God's Judgment and His Compassion; God's Glory and His Righteousness.

              They will comfort, encourage, and guide you — help you appeal to a Higher power regardless of
            your situation in life. They also will instruct: how to live righteously or at least start on that road.
                                               Indeed, if you feel unworthy to pray to God, that alone makes you
            worthy.
              In short, the psalms address universal themes in wonderful poetic fashion; compositions that we
            all need at one time or another; when overwhelmed or remorseful, when grief-stricken or enraged,
                                                                                              BestBucktListAdventure

            in times of despair or times of joy; whether in a formal prayer service, or individually, as part of our
            own special relationship with God.
                                                                              a fabulously rich gold mine, their ore
              Yet,
            has not been extracted for lack of tools. That does nothing to help the millions of people who
            desperately seek a means that will allow them to connect to a Higher Power.

        correct site as well.
           Steve Rosner’s words are so beautifully written that they struck a chord deep inside me. Steve gets it.
        I was drawn into his description of the “Psalms of David” like a moth to a light and I was hooked! I couldn’t
        wait to start on my path to self-discovery to learn more about myself and maybe find some peace.
