More than any other part of the Bible, the Psalms contain raw human emotion right across the spectrum from intense joy to profound and disorientating sorrow. They are fearlessly honest in dealing with the very kinds of questions we ask today about justice, suffering, fear, loss and why evil sometimes seems to triumph over good. They have nurtured worship for thousands of years.

In this book, Lezley Stewart reimagines key Psalms as they might be written today in response to the perpetual questions that arise from human experience and uses them as a springboard to provide a wealth of beautifully crafted and sensitive worship resources that will easily translate into multiple pastoral contexts:

• Re-imagined Psalms

• Calls to worship

• Prayers

• Affirmations

• New psalm prayers

• Questions for contemplation

• Short reflections

• Blessings

• Complete service outlines on such themes as Refuge, Refreshment, Guidance as well as a liturgy for Holy Communion
