This is one of the books I'll be returning to again and again. It simply helped me engage God in ways that I hadn't, and that are life-giving. Truly rich.

Open and Unafraid by David O. Taylor is not so much a study of the Psalms as it is the application of the Psalms to certain themes, such as Honesty, Anger, Community, Poetry, Prayers, and others . There are study questions at the end of each chapter so you can apply these themes to your own life, if you wish. There are also instructions on writing your own psalms.

Overall, and with a few exceptions, I found it to be more of a self help book than a study of the Psalms.

I received a free copy of this book from Netgalley. My review is voluntary.

I agreed with most everything in this book and appreciated what the author wrote. I would definitely recommend/give this to someone who doesn't know much about praying the Psalms & who is looking to know more, but I personally didn't get much out of it that I didn't already know/hadn't already considered.
