Lauren Guerard - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Psalms: Structure, Content, and Message (Paperback)

I'm having to read this book for a class, but I've found that it's really helpful. It talks about the structure of different Psalms and has information that I would have never seen on my own. I also didn't think it was too dense or academic to follow while still giving me good information.
