Review

Awesome scholarship... together with a passion for hearing and passing on in a thoroughly down-to-earth style what God is saying to His church today. (Michael Wilcock ~ Formerly Director of Pastoral Studies at Trinity College, Bristol & Vicar of St Nicholas, Durham)

Always fresh, always insightful. Dale Ralph Davis shows you what's there and leaves you wondering why you didn't see it before!
(Colin S. Smith ~ Senior Pastor, The Orchard, Arlington Heights, Illinois and President, Unlocking the Bible)

Dale Ralph Davis has provided another faithful, lively and refreshing set of expositions. All Christians will benefit from this book and I hope it is read widely.
(Sam Allberry ~ Assistant Pastor, St Marys, Maidenhead and Author of Is God Anti-Gay?)

Sharp, personal and funny illustrations, a vital, earnest and readable style, deep, nourishing, practical application built on a foundation of passionately thorough biblical, theological and linguistic scholarship. (Colin Buchanan ~ Christian Children's Recording artist and author, Sydney, Australia)

Thank you Dr. Davis, for "yielding to the temptation" to continue what you began with Psalm 1-12. (Albert N. Martin ~ Served as pastor of Trinity Baptist Church, Montville, New Jersey for over forty years and taught Pastoral Theology at the Trinity Ministerial Academy)

... another excellent book on a part of the Old Testament by Dale Ralph Davis... he has an easy, almost conversational style, in which he exegetes the text and deals with the translation of key words without getting bogged down. Five star! (Grace Magazine)

True worship is, as Dale Ralph Davis puts it in this brilliantly helpful book on Psalms 13-24, 'from the top down'. So the same has to be true of our devotional reading of God's word. Our true comfort, our deep encouragement to persevere, our solid growth in trust amidst the mayhem of life all start with God as he has spoken in his word. It's this capacity to draw fresh devotional truths from the deep well of the biblical text that is the author's great gift. Here is a fellow-traveller who is realistic and properly grounded on the same planet that the rest of us occupy, refreshing us along God's way with God's revealed and written truth. So the author's profound understanding of what the text of the Psalms means leads to profound help with what the Psalms really do mean for you. Dale Ralph Davis has these two things the right way round. This book is an absolute gem!
(Dominic Smart ~ Author and conference speaker)
