Beautiful, profound prayers, great for devotions. A few of them are a little sketchy, but use your judgment informed by Scripture and tradition.

While I have deep respect for the author, his faith and his work, in all honesty I simply didn't like this book. I had high hopes and deep interest when I began it, but I found the style of the prayers didn't move me to prayer, and there was a repetitive You God/we humans contrast that I grew tired of quickly. It was a relief to put it down. (less)

Power. Enlightening. Imaginative. Just the kind of prayers you would expect from Brueggemann. If you are a fan of his work, or if you simply desire material with which to enhance and stir your own prayer life, then this book will repay you well.

Heartfelt, profound, theologically and biblically-informed psalms from the inner yearnings and experience of one of our lifetime's greatest biblical scholars. Highly recommended. (less)

Brueggemann's word choice and use of syntax is often unconventional and thought provoking. (less)

I've had this book for a few years, and I still randomly pick it up on days and just re-read the whole thing. Highly recommend. (less)
