The Psalms Bible study is part of the Lifechange series published by Navpress.  It’s stated purpose is to examine the life of prayer of the authors of the psalms, thereby deepening and enriching our own personal prayer lives.  It is a large and uneasy task to fit 150 psalms into a 10 week study, but this book does a good job at surveying and overviewing all the psalms.  In some cases, a psalm is merely touched on, and in other instances a psalm is looked at more in-depth.  The study is organized into 10 weeks and each week’s study centers on a theme (such as intercession, restoration, forgiveness) and examines psalms that illustrate that theme.  Each week’s study provides basic questions and a section of further questions and optional / additional applications.  The study provides helpful context and literary notes and a bibliography of additional resources for further study.  It is a brief introduction to the psalms but a helpful study book that can be used by any individual or small group or classroom setting.
