Psalms in Poetry: the Rhythm and Rhyme of Hope

Keith W. Currie writes in such a way that he re-presents much of the enduring hope of the writers of the psalms. There is the taste and feel of worship and prayer here in these pages. Worship that is simple, personal, and applicable to daily life and problems. Prayers that sing with joy and also question in honest, heart-felt bewilderment. Every psalm has been rewritten into lyric, meter, and rhyme. It is not lofty, yet it sings in a way that is earthy and accessible. Pick up this book and read it aloud; you'll be edified. Read it side-by-side with your Bible; you'll be enlightened. Read it with a friend; you'll be enlarged. Most of all, absorb the Hope that fills the book of Psalms. Keith Currie has re-written them in such a way that your heart will be lighter for picking up this book and thumbing its pages. This Biblical hope is so much more substantive than just wishing; it is a secure, certain hope that will shape your life and form your decisions.
