Description

William Philip encourages readers to use the Psalms as their own heart songs, in any circumstance.

Don’t just admire the Psalms, use them. Psalms are Spirit–inspired prayers that help us to pray rightly and truly. They give us words we trust, and treasure as our own heart songs, as we engage with God through times of both darkness and light.

William Philip shows us that in the Psalms we find a profound revelation of God, His nature, and His ways, as well as His relationship with His people. They help us deal with all aspects of our sojourning faith, both individually and in the corporate life of the church. They give us real ‘working models’ for living day by day as Christians.

Heart Songs for Every Saint takes six of these psalms, and shows how they can be prayed in real life situations:

When God Seems Absent: Psalms 10 – A Song of Protest
Right Sacrifices for Real Sinners: Psalm 51 – A Song of Penitence
When We in Darkness Walk: Psalm 88 – A Song of Pain
Safe in the Shadow of the Almighty: Psalm 91 – A Song of Promise
Where Does Your Help Come From?: Psalm 121 – A Song of Pilgrimage
Joining the Choir of the King: Psalm 145 – A Song of Praise

Endorsements

… William Philip offers thoughtful meditations on six key Psalms for our reflection and encouragement. It has got me reading the Psalms more, where I have found much comfort and strength. I’m glad I read this book.

With our feelings and worries so easily all over the place, it is a wonderful thing to read these six expositions of six excellent psalms (’heart songs’) and find anchor. William Philip gives such careful attention to God’s text and such fitting application to His world that I found myself buoyed up again by the truth and grateful for a small book of pastoral help that I can give anybody and everybody.

Simon Manchester
Former Minister, St Thomas’ Anglican Church, Sydney, Australia

With commendable honesty about life in the real world, these expositions are wonderfully God–centred … This is Biblical preaching at its best – exegetically profound, pastorally warm–hearted and truly Christ–exalting. It did my heart good!

David Jackman
Past President, The Proclamation Trust, London

We are able to come to God with heartfelt worship, thanksgiving and devotion, as well as lament and hope. Our spiritual life is enriched by the Psalms with their emotional range and relevance to every season of life.
