______________

Dale Ralph Davis has given us yet another wonderful expository commentary, this time on the first twelve psalms. This short book gives a pithy analysis of each psalm interspersed with wonderful illustrations (often drawn from American history) and searching application. Davis has been an Old Testament professor and so his interpretations are carefully nuanced. He has also been a pastor and so his books are informed by careful observation of human nature. But above all he is a believer whose exposition of Scripture always leads to the Lord Jesus Christ and his grace, which alone can save us and lead us in the paths of godly living. My one gripe with this book is that it only covers twelve of the psalms. When are we going to be blessed with books on the remaining 138? D. Marshall
