The whole of life can be found in the psalms. It can also be found
in our cities. Psalms for the City is a beautifully illustrated
book of poetry that offers comfort, inspiration and encouragement
for the heart and soul, as John-Paul Flintoff puts into vibrant,
captivating and sometimes heart-wrenching words the pockets of
peace he has found in the midst of the non-stop noise and colourful
chaos of the city. Inspired by the psalms - some of the oldest and
most soul-stirring poetry in the world - Flintoff's fluid style and
technical skills take us on a private tour of our most-loved urban
landscapes and reveal the spiritual nourishment in some of its most
famous sights. In countless churches and sacred spaces, he shows us
locations to lament; he teaches us to discover joy in crowded
marketplaces; and shares how he found hope searching the horizon
atop Hampstead Heath. With his own hand-drawn illustrations to
accompany the poems, Psalms for the City is a book that poetry
lovers will treasure and is perfect for fans of Charlie Mackesy.
Presented in a beautiful hardback format, it will also make a
wonderful gift for friends and family, and for those who love the
diversity of city life. Open and honest, these are modern day
psalms that chart John-Paul's discovery that the extraordinary
places welcomed the ordinary, and that when we're looking closely,
the ordinary places can become extraordinary. Psalms for the City
is an invitation to take your imagination on a pilgrimage across
the city, experiencing the full depths of what it means to be human
today.
