"In this book you will find select readings from John Calvin's Commentary on the Psalms. It provides us with a year's worth of rewarding daily meditations.

John Calvin described the Psalms as "an anatomy of all the parts of the soul. "The description is an apt one, says Sinclair B. Ferguson in the foreward to this volume, "since every experience, every emotion, all the heights and depths, all the joys and sorrows, all the mysteries of human life, are here." Reading this on a daily basis can hardly fail to bring you spiritual health and strength. And you will come to love both the Psalms and Calvin better before the year is ended."

Excerpt: Blessed is the man: The meaning of the Psalmist is that is shall be always well with God's devout servants, whose constant endeavour it is to make progress in the study of his law. He teaches us how impossible it is for anyone to apply his mind to meditation upon God's law, who has not first withdrawn and separated himself from the society of the ungodly.

An excellent Christmas gift. Order now!

Ferguson does a great job at compiling John Calvin's heart and soul through his own writings through the Psalms. If you want to challenge your heart and grow in depth, this is the book for you.

This is one of the best devotional books that I have read. To see Calvin's views on the selected Psalms is an inspiration. He truly gives the Glory to God. I bought a copy of "Heart Aflame: Daily Readings from Calvin on the Psalms" for each member of my family.
