Psalms and Songs of Solace

The Promise of Hope

18.07.2024

A book of consolation and compassion, offering encouragement and hope from the Psalms. For those who are made to endure betrayal, affliction, adversity, and suffering, the Psalms can be a source of wisdom and comfort. In this remarkable book, Martyn Percy offers a new reading of the Psalms to shed light on the help and comfort we can find in the midst of darkness and solitude.

Martyn Percy explains how the Psalms can help those who encounter difficulties of their own—whether as a result of global crises, recession, grief, abuse, or personal hardship. Peppered with anecdotes, reflections, and spiritual wisdom, this book is a treasure trove of consolation and compassion for those who find themselves alone in their struggles. Each short chapter picks a Psalm for a day, creating a set of fifty reflections that make a perfect accompaniment for seasons of the year such as Lent or Advent.
