Riassunto

And Jesus answered him, saying, 'It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.' Luke 4:4 (KJV) In The Words of Psalm 23, Professor Omolewa brings this verse from the Gospels to life by examining every word of Psalm 23. In this much-loved Psalm, David has provided a response to the questions of despair, fear, frustration, betrayal, disappointment, and anxiety. Written from the perspective of a teacher, The Words of Psalm 23 provides fresh meanings from Psalm 23 which has been described as the pearl of the Psalms. Each of the 118 words from the King James Version is fully examined against the backdrop of possible explanations for David's choice of those words. From these few words, discover: ɶɶ Why David refers to the LORD as "my" shepherd. ɶɶ Amazing benefits of "green pastures." ɶɶ Comforts of the "restored soul." ɶɶ Rescue from and use for the "valley of the shadow of death." ɶɶ Many more of the deep truths of Psalm 23 as you read each chapter that concludes with lessons learnt, further meditations, and discussion questions. You have never experienced the Shepherd's Psalm like this! Author Michael Omolewa is a distinguished professor of Adult Education with specialization in literacy.
