In this unique book, McGinnis offers a new, deeper, and more meaningful way to explore and understand the Psalms. Vividly connecting readers with the writers of the original Psalms, he discusses the intent and meaning of the historical Psalms, and then sets readers on a path to creating their own sacred poetry. Explaining the various literary devices used, and the intention behind the various types of psalms, McGinnis guides readers through sensory and poetic exercises designed to transform them into inspired modern-day psalmists. The book includes new psalms and poems from contemporary Jewish, Islamic, and Christian writers from Canada and other countries.
