Singin In The Reign

Christians know the Psalms, sing the Psalms, and pray the Psalms more than any other book of the Bible. Yet, even as believers have grown more devoted to individual psalms, they have lost the big picture-the single sense that unites all the psalms as one coherent book. Michael Barber is at the forefront of an emerging movement in biblical theology. With this book, he is recovering the narrative plot that was the common heritage of Jews and Christians in the ancient world. Barber shows how King David serves as an example for the chosen people as they struggled in exile. As David was rescued by the Lord, so would Israel be restored as a kingdom for all ages. This is the story of Christ as well, whom Barber reveals as the "new David." And, in Christ, it is the story of every Christian. The Psalms bring us-in our reading and in our prayer-from suffering and pleading to glory, triumph, and praise. Barber's analysis follows upon an extensive introduction by Scott Hahn, Ph.D., detailing the historical, cultural, and theological background of the Psalter.

Blurred Vision is about life experiences everyone will at some point in his or her live. It speaks truth in experiences have been through. Since birth to our first kiss to our first break-up and many other firsts, we all wish that we had someone their or some type of advice that we could have read. This book, Blurred Vision will be the advice, which we all need to help us live a decent life, a life lead by truth and honesty. Throughout life we all prove ourselves not to be humble, quiet, but loud and our first thought is to fight back. We all dont want to stay quiet, and just let the situation be and fully accept it for what it is. The book Blurred Vision is based on my life experiences, the experiences that molded advice, which in turn molded this book.
