In The Honesty of the Psalms the author invites readers to not only read each psalm but also to grasp the backstory, context, and meaning, allowing them to engage with the psalmist through understanding what he says and how he feels. Kelly shares his struggles with every psalm and invites people to grapple with their own struggles by responding to three questions that guide to deeper personal reflection. If we affirm and believe in a holy God who loves unholy people, then we also must affirm that the space we are in, and the feelings we have, can be laid upon God in whatever time and context we find ourselves-knowing that the God of redemption still redeems.

Not so long ago, I felt myself under so much pressure that I went to my doctor and asked, "How much stress is too much stress?" My doctor's response implied that if I was asking that question, then I needed, to be honest with myself and take stock of my life and work. The truth was I was depressed and that I had been going down slowly for years, a combination of deafness in one ear, coeliacs disease, the usual chaotic family life and too many commitments had taken their toll. For years as a pastor I have dealt with those battling with depression, I was good at seeing the signs in others but very nearly missed my own. I was fortunate because I have a loving family, close friends and a church that were simply amazing, who walked with me, and a doctor who made sure I got the right support. A combination of counselling, prayer and medication has assured that I am at last coming out the other side. Inspired by the Rt Revd James Jones, this book charts my journey from the valley of the shadow into the light. It is my prayer, that wherever you are on your spiritual journey, you will find comfort, hope and challenge through the radical honesty embedded in the heart of the Psalms.

"A book you will want to read and read again." -- Eugene Peterson Afterword by Bono. How can we find a more transparent, resilient, and fearless life of faith? The book of Psalms has been central to God's people for millennia, across all walks of life and cultural contexts. In reading it, we discover that we are never alone in our joys, sorrows, angers, doubts, praises, or thanksgivings. In it, we learn about prayer and poetry, honesty and community, justice and enemies, life and death, nations and creation. Open and Unafraid shows us how to read the psalms in a fresh, life-giving way, and so access the bottomless resources for life that they provide. "David Taylor’s take is 'open and unafraid' alright. He really goes there, exposing himself before God in the most beautiful way. He might have called the book Naked, because if you don’t find your own self feeling a little exposed here, it might be time to take some armor off." -- Bono, from the Afterword "A book that you will want to read and read again, and yet again, in order to discover the wisdom of the Psalms that shows us how to walk in the life-giving way of Jesus." -- Eugene Peterson, from the Foreword "A winsome, accessible entry into the Book of Psalms…Connects the poetry of the psalms to real-life wonders and struggles." -- Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary "Taylor reads these biblical prayers with Dr. Seuss, rappers, and other poets, along with theologians and the daily news....Guides readers in tracing out patterns of holy speech that have the potential for healing our hearts and our communities." -- Ellen F. Davis, Duke Divinity School "I have always loved the psalms--for their defiant devotion, their deep joy, and their brutal yet beautiful honesty. And after reading this fantastic book about them, I love them even more." -- Matt Redman, worship leader and song writer "In these fraught and fearsome days, we need the psalms more than ever. And we need more faithful artists and thinkers like David Taylor to mine the infinite gifts the psalms offer across the ages." -- Karen Swallow Prior, author of Fierce Convictions

Reclaim the Psalms for true worship, as well as prayer, as you learn how to approach God with the emotional intensity of the ancient psalmists. Denise Dombkowski Hopkins combines the insights of scholarship on the Psalms with artwork, liturgy, song, and poetry, to give us a new way to use the Psalms in our life of faith together, to empower our corporate identity and revitalize our worship. She examines how the Psalms formed the worship of ancient synagogues and the earliest churches and how they can do the same for our churches today. Reflective questions bring worship leaders and individuals alike to a new awareness of the power of the Psalms to enrich public worship and private devotions with an honesty that does not turn away from the realities of suffering and anger.

Old Testament scholar and interpreter Brent A. Strawn focuses on the importance of honesty in preaching, especially around three challenging Old Testament themes: sin, suffering, and violence. He makes the case that preaching honestly is critical in the church today. Without honesty regarding these topics, there is no way forward to reconciliation, health, and recovery. Further, it is imperative for today's preachers to deal with the questions of faith arising from these themes in the biblical text itself. In addition to key scripture passages, he turns to several contemporary authors and works as dialogue partners on the three themes. Asserting that keeping secrets can lead to a kind of sickness, Strawn uses texts from the Pentateuch and the Psalms to model honesty about sin, without which there can be no reconciliation, and honesty about suffering, without which there can be no healing. He also looks at the book of Joshua and various psalms to model honesty about violence, which can serve as a way to contain, limit, and ultimately transcend violence. Strawn frames these themes specifically for working preachers, so they can create sermons that speak to these thorny themes with depth and clarity.

So often we see the Bible as a lofty, unattainable and unrelatable collection of stories from thousands of years ago. By taking one verse a day from each chapter of Psalms, Psalm Stories helps the reader find themselves in the honesty of David and other psalmists by applying the verse to everyday life. The book of Psalms is a book of honesty. It discusses every emotion from joy to anger to doubt. Psalm Stories helps readers embrace whatever they are feeling and understand that God is not standoffish toward your feelings. Each devotional is short but holds thought provoking ideas and questions to stick with you throughout the day. The goal is to help unlearn lies that religion has taught and bring us back to the humanity that Jesus took on and encourages us to embrace.

"Our challenge is to rediscover the honesty and depth that is demonstrated in the psalms, in our worship today. It's to break down the walls of the 'worship ghetto' and allow the broken and doubters in." Rob HalliganSinger-songwriter Rob Halligan has been writing and performing his songs for over 30 years. With a passion for honesty in his work his songs have tackled issues of faith, religion, politics, reconciliation and social commentary. In this book, written as an accompaniment to his album "Psalm", he asks his friends the question, "what do the psalms mean to you?"The responses are insightful and probing and offer a chance for mediation on our own journey of worship. The latter part of this book includes a copy of the program of the first Psalm Event that took place at Coventry Cathedral in the spring of 2019 and includes the lyrics to the songs on the album.

The Psalms are the "Prayer Book of the Church" (and of the Jewish people, as well!). Eugene Peterson, theologian and translator of The Message Bible once noted that "the Psalms train us in honest prayer." Indeed, the Jewish concept of kavanah (focused, heart-felt intentionality) is linked to our purposefulness and passion in prayer that we observe throughout the Psalms. They present us with the entire spectrum of human emotion that can give voice and vocabulary to our honest prayers. You are invited on a 40-day sojourn among the deep and profound words of the Psalms. Take a cleansing breath and dare to let them become your source of "crying out to the Lord" in praise, lament, joy, and tears. As we walk through each day we will take time to ponder God's ways and priorities through breath prayers, scripture readings, concepts to consider, and reflection questions.
