Life Lessons from Psalms: A Praise Book for God's People

by Max Lucado

Overview

Worship is a daunting but important part of discipleship. For that reason, God gave us the Psalms...

This collection of hymns and petitions was written over a span of centuries, in many different settings, by kings such as David and Solomon and commoners like Asaph, Heman, and the sons of Korah. Some of the psalms are defiant; others are reverent. Some are meant to be sung; others are to be prayed. Some are intensely personal; others are communal. But all have one purpose—to help us express our hears to God.

As you read, study, journal, and discuss the book of Psalms, watch for these key themes that Max will unpack throughout the book:

• God is worthy of all worship.
• God will defend his people against their enemies.
• Being in relationship with God is the key to all joy and security.

The Life Lessons with Max Lucado series brings the Bible to life in twelve lessons filled with intriguing questions, inspirational stories, and poignant reflections to take you deeper into God's Word. Each lesson includes:

• An opening reflection on the Bible book you're studying.
• Background information to deepen your understanding of the cultural and historical setting.
• An excerpt of the text (from the NIV and the NKJV).
• Exploration questions with plenty of room to write your own thoughts and notes.
• Inspirational thoughts from Max as well as a closing takeaway for further reflection.

The Life Lessons series is ideal for use in both a small-group setting or for individual study.
