Description

About the Author Leslie F. Brandt served around the world as a pastor, evangelist, and writer. Psalms Now has sold more than 360,000 copies in its first two versions. Brandt died in 2001

Features & Highlights

  • Perhaps the best-known and best-loved book of the Bible, the Psalms have long held a central position in the spiritual life of Christian believers. From the original authors to the modern reader, the Psalms express human emotions, desires, and faith to God.
  • In Psalms Now, author Leslie Brandt paraphrases the Psalms to provide Christians with new ways to celebrate the promises of protection, victory, salvation, light, and life God offers through the words of the Psalms. The paraphrases are rooted in the emotions and faith of the originals, but the modern twist helps readers understand, in everyday language, the goodness of God.

What a blessing

I've been a Christian for a long time and saw this book in a Goodwill store yesterday. I will never be sorry I purchased it. It's hard to put down. I want to buy a copy for all my close friends. Leslie's ability to put the Psalms in today's language is a gift indeed! It is a treasure to own this book. I'm glad it's still in print because I feel that God will continue to use it to bring glory to His name.

Rediscover your favorites

Brandt continues to rewrite and renew his view of the Psalms, God's songbook. It will give the reader a chance to rediscover what grabbed you the first time you read a Psalm and knew God was speaking.

I have had the chance to use the book with junior high and high school students and I have seen it provoke thought. This last purchase of a dozen copies were for graduation gifts for the seniors at my church. The book makes a wonderful gift for young people that seek spiritual transfomation through the Word.

Love this

Oh my. I LOVE this book! Everyone should own one. I've hardly started it and I have trouble putting it down. It's like modern day poems made from the Psalms and they all hit home, just like the Psalms in the original do. As I was reading, I was making a mental note of who I was going to give one for Christmas.

but found it to be truly beautiful and inspirational

Re-wording of the Psalms in modern language. I was skeptical before reading this book, but found it to be truly beautiful and inspirational. The writing is exceptionally good.

When you need to hear God in a different way...

My spiritual advisor recommended this book. She often begins our time together by reading one of these psalms. I keep a copy by my bible and will often look up a psalm after reading it in my bible. Though she takes quite a bit of license from the original wording, the message is consistent. I often find her words to be exactly what's going through my mind! Very helpful way to present the psalms in a modern-message format. Would be a great book for new believers.
