"Jonathan Cruse's writing makes me want to read more of it! We need more Bible in our lives, and we need more guides to the Bible like Cruse, who makes me want to return to the Bible to see more in its pages. The Bible is God's Word, and the Bible is the tool God uses to change lives. This guide to the Psalms of Ascents will put those two things together for you. Drink deeply from this stream that flows from the well of Scripture that the Lord might make you more like Christ. These psalms are awesome, and this book will help you see how. Enjoy!" JAMES M. HAMILTON, professor of biblical theology, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
