Download or read book Praises, Prayers, and Curses written by Richard H. Schmidt and published by Forward Movement. This book was released on 2005 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schmidt presents a bold yet refreshing prism of grace on each of the 150 most misinterpreted songs in all of Scripture. Countering the notion of the Psalms as meek, mild, and honey-coated, he tackles the despair and hurt of the psalmists head-on, wrestling intimately with some of his own dark places. The result is as if to see the Psalms for the first time -- or for the uninitiated, to see in them God's truth and wisdom for his people in all times and seasons.
