Using 90 selected passages from the Psalms, Peter Wallace has put together a stimulating devotional full of fresh ideas for finding ways to connect with God, with one another, and with the world at large. As a result, readers will gain encouragement and strength to face their uncertain world with the wisdom and love of the God who so deeply loves them.
