This exceptional book explores our understanding of the Psalter as
a book of prayer in the Judeo-Christian tradition. It focuses in
original and helpful ways on the genre of Lament as a text medium
through which personal distress can be engaged with and processed
in the action of prayer, and explores some of the psychodynamic
shifts which can occur for people praying in this way, providing
some actual case examples of the process at work. The author
provides a thorough examination of the lament genre found in the
Psalter from a theological perspective and also offers a practical
working model which could be incorporated into work with people who
are suffering from distress in a variety of forms.
"The God, Who Hears is a thought provoking overview concerning how
Jehovah God hears the prayers of the ones who trust Him. The
author's ability to create a conversation between her and her
perspective readers is a brilliant concept. The biblical
interpretations are accurate and her ability to maneuver seamlessly
through the Old and the New Testament is excellent. Her opinions
are biblical based and her respect for the Sh'ma and Judaism is
refreshing.Teresa Ann Johnson possesses the ability to keep the
reader desiring more and more.... I could not stop reading
