 | A good start for praying the psalms Jan 9, 2007 |
| I've found Peterson's work very helpful and a good introduction to praying the psalms. I wish that it would include more of a corporate sense of worship rather than a private or individual approach. This reflects my own bias that our faith in the west is too often centered on the individual rather than the body of Christ. | | |  | Read the psalms out loud as a prayer to God Jun 25, 2006 |
| Certain parts of the book helped me to desire reading the Psalms as prayers to God. If you are into lecture type reading then this book is for you. What I like to see in books is the person's walk with God - his reading of the Psalms and how they affected him in learning to trust and love God. I did not finished the book, BUT I am reading the Psalms as prayers to God. | | |  | This is the book that set me free to pray Jul 19, 2005 |
| Until I read this book, I felt that I ought to pray, even wanted to pray, but when I sat down to do it prayer seemed so complicated and burdensome, and I would come away with a haunting feeling that I never got it "right". This book taught me that prayer means listening, and responding to God--not just talking at him, or coming at him with lists. It set me free to rest in the presence of God, something I often enough ended up doing anyway, but then would feel guilty for. After all, wasn't I supposed to be "praying?" Thank you to Eugene Peterson for this beautiful, well-written, well-expressed book, which is a joy to read. I have heavily underlined and re-read my copy 3 times. It is fresh each time. | | | | open the door... Aug 24, 2001 |
| I have to agree with the reviewer of August 7, 2001's enthusiasm for this book. I first read "Answering God: The Psalms As Tools for Prayer" when I checked it out of a local library. The book so moved and changed me that I had to stop midway, turn the book back in at the library, and order a copy. "Answering God" is the kind of book that helps the reader open doors that have always be locked to them. In my case, it has revolutionized the way I pray while giving the Psalms greater meaning to me. It is a small book of great depth. It looks at the Psalms--warts and all. It digs deep into the topics it discusses. It looks at the basic questions of what a Psalm consists of. It then teaches what prayer is and how it affects those who pray. It follows this by teaching the reader how to pray the Psalms. This book is full of practical advice and direction. Eugene Peterson is the perfect person to write this book. He is an expert in the field of prayer...not because of any degree he holds but because he is a deep person of prayer (this will be crystal clear to anyone who reads the book). Peterson is a trusted guide for the sometimes unforgiving terrain of the Psalms. I give "Answering God" my most heartfelt recommendation. I urge you to get a copy today. | | | | New Insights on Prayer and the Psalms Aug 7, 2001 |
| I just placed an order for six more copies of this book to give to friends and family ... and that's only a start. Am I new to the Bible? Not hardly. I'm one of those "veteran" Christians who has been active in church and other ministries all my life. Even so, "Answering God" introduced me to the Psalms in a way I've never before experienced. I'm excited about using the Psalms to help me develop a deeper, richer prayer life. As Peterson writes: "Prayers are tools for being and becoming ... The Psalms come from a people who hear God speak to them and realize that it is the most important word they will ever hear spoken. They decide to respond." So have I. | | | Write your own review about Answering God: The Psalms as Tools for Prayer
