""In Puritan Insights on the Psalms, David McKinley offers profound insights into the spiritual mind of the Puritans and their dependence on the Psalms. These daily meditations will inspire readers to discover deep insights from Puritan authors, who viewed the Psalms as a core element of worship. As McKinley so brilliantly does in his other writings, each selection in this book ends with a beautiful prayer to guide readers through their day. I highly recommend McKinley's newest book on the Psalms, and I believe that it will bring a great sense of spiritual depth to those who make it their daily devotional."" --Ross Purdy, Senior Pastor, La CaƱada Presbyterian Church, California ""Numerous people recognize the Psalms as the church's prayer book, yet only a handful understand how to utilize them in this way. This remarkable book, drawing from the works of over ninety Puritan writers, directs readers toward a discovery long cherished by Christians: The Psalms provide an exceptional pathway to a vibrant prayer life."" --Robert Covolo, Director, The Center for Faith and Work Los Angeles, California ""As our world rushes past the sacred, David McKinley invites you to settle in with God, to listen and to respond. You are immediately conscious that the author is drawing deeply from the Psalms through voices of Puritans from across centuries. You will sense this is more than a daily devotional. Your spirit will eagerly respond to the transforming power of God's truth, and the well-defined vision of God's presence. The guidance, encouragement, comfort, hope, and renewal you accept will awaken a fresh love for the Psalms. Read them slowly, reflect, pray. Allow God's word to shape your journey, one day at a time."" --Ron Unruh, Former President, Evangelical Free Church of Canada
