About this title

Review

The book of Psalms lies at the very heart of the Bible--a most appropriate place, as it expresses a wealth of emotions in richly metaphorical language. For that reason, it's a favorite for many artists as well as lovers of beautiful writing. Timothy R. Botts's expressive calligraphy and artwork bring a joyous impact to the complete text in the New Living Translation. "The skies display His marvelous craftsmanship" (Psalm 19) is superimposed on an image of the sun, beaming forth the news that God has placed it in the skies. "You are the fountain of life, the light by which we see" (Psalm 36) curls across the page in lovely waves cresting on a blue background. Botts's brief notes for each calligraphic piece bring insight to the artwork as well as to the poetry of each Psalm. The book's exceptionally beautiful printing and cover make it a perfect gift book for a Christian art lover.
