This a fabulous collection of current day psalms. I was amazed how wonderful and thought provoking they are! After the psalsm are reflections that pull you in even deeper. The writing is very artistic and wonderful. The spirituality is break-taking! If your prayer life needs a little charge, this will do the trick!

I ordered this book and others by (Fr.) Edward Hays, blindly and without knowing exactly what I would be getting. I had done this because I became excited when learning the details about him and his works. I was impressed by everything I heard about the man, especially his love of life and how he believes in the importance of prayer in our daily lives. His approach to prayer and contemplation is one that fits into the real world no matter what religious belief you may follow, or even if you don't hold a firm religious leaning. This particular book's strongest point is that it takes prayer and not only makes it lyrical but provides reflections at the end of each contemporary "psalm".

I just gave this book as a gift. I've had my copy for 10-15 years, and enjoyed it as a light hearted way to pray and think. I gave it to someone who has cancer with a negative prognosis. I need to re-open it to re-connect with a loving God.
