Praying the 23rd Psalm is filled with prayers that will flow from your heart as you immerse yourself in one of the most beautiful passages from God's Word. Elmer Towns examines Psalm 23 line by line, revealing insight, comfort, and dynamic Kingdom principles for every follower of Christ.

This review is from: Praying the 23rd Psalm (Paperback)

Reading this gem of a book reminded me of the privilege I had a few years ago as a student in one of Dr. Towns' classes. He writes like he teaches.

Among the important points covered in the book include:

1. Sometimes it is best to flee instead of fighting.
2. We have no spiritual direction on our own.
3. Rest in the Lord and He will restore your soul.
4. Character is doing the right thing in the right way.
5. Look first to the Shepherd instead of yourself.
6. Too often we depend on ourselves instead of the Shepherd to defend us.
7. There are people in this world who hate us simply because we belong to the Shepherd.
8. God wants you to have your own cup to drink from. He wants to give you more than you can drink.

Read and be encouraged. Highly recommended!
