Living with the Psalms

Developed during John Bell's teaching ministry around the world, this book is the fruit of a lifetime's engagement with the Psalms. As a broadcaster and writer, John Bell is loved for being entirely genuine and, in the words of former Archbishop Justin Welby, "his cogent and penetrating contributions reach an audience well beyond the churches".

Here he explores the psalms as they impinge on daily life, drawing on stories and personal testimonies in order to help readers grieve, or rejoice, or draw encouragement from this most extraordinary and fascinating collection of sacred poems and songs.

"John Bell of the Iona Community has been for many years one of the most recognized voices on BBC Radio 4's Thought for the Day, where his cogent and penetrating topical contributions reach an audience well beyond the churches." – Justin Welby, former Archbishop of Canterbury
