From professor, pastor, and producer of the documentary Bono and
Eugene Peterson: The Psalms, a devotional examination of the life
of faith as presented in the Psalter--one lived in joy, sorrow,
anger, doubt, fear, mortality, community, isolation, and above all
in the presence of God--in order to deepen discipleship and
worship. "A book you will want to read and read again." -- Eugene
Peterson Afterword by Bono. How can we find a more transparent,
resilient, and fearless life of faith? The book of Psalms has been
central to God's people for millennia, across all walks of life and
cultural contexts. In reading it, we discover that we are never
alone in our joys, sorrows, angers, doubts, praises, or
thanksgivings. In it, we learn about prayer and poetry, honesty and
community, justice and enemies, life and death, nations and
creation. Open and Unafraid shows us how to read the psalms in a
fresh, life-giving way, and so access the bottomless resources for
life that they provide. "David Taylor's take is 'open and unafraid'
alright. He really goes there, exposing himself before God in the
most beautiful way. He might have called the book Naked, because if
you don't find your own self feeling a little exposed here, it
might be time to take some armor off." -- Bono, from the Afterword
"A book that you will want to read and read again, and yet again,
in order to discover the wisdom of the Psalms that shows us how to
walk in the life-giving way of Jesus." -- Eugene Peterson, from the
Foreword "A winsome, accessible entry into the Book of
Psalms...Connects the poetry of the psalms to real-life wonders and
struggles." -- Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary
"Taylor reads these biblical prayers with Dr. Seuss, rappers, and
other poets, along with theologians and the daily news....Guides
readers in tracing out patterns of holy speech that have the
potential for healing our hearts and our communities." -- Ellen F.
Davis, Duke Divinity School "I have always loved the psalms--for
their defiant devotion, their deep joy, and their brutal yet
beautiful honesty. And after reading this fantastic book about
them, I love them even more." -- Matt Redman, worship leader and
song writer "In these fraught and fearsome days, we need the psalms
more than ever. And we need more faithful artists and thinkers like
David Taylor to mine the infinite gifts the psalms offer across the
ages." -- Karen Swallow Prior, author of Fierce Convictions
