Special thank you to Hearts & Minds Books for their review of Praying the Psalms with Augustine and Friends, edited by Carmen Joy Imes. Read what Hearts & Minds Books had to say—

I adore this well designed book in the bigger “Sacred Roots Spiritual Classics” series produced by an urban ministry team at Taylor University. Carmen is a good friend and grand supporter of Hearts & Minds and — hooray! — did one of the best Jubilee talks last weekend in the history of the storied Pittsburgh conference. (More on that next time.) Dr. Imes is a respected and beloved Old Testament professor and prolific author. This is a book which is perhaps not as well known and it’s a shame as it is a treasure.

Praying the Psalms with Augustine is not a Lenten resource (although it seems so very apropos) and it will take you further than the Lenten season. (There are eight sections here.) Besides the insights drawn from Saint Gus and other early Christians, Carmen teaches us well, opens up the Psalms as a prayer resource, and then offers a fabulous ending section of further resources and guidance to “continue the conversation.” This is a book, as they say, of “soul work and soul care.” Thanks be to God.
