Mason's Book Recommendation

Before my laptop were ka-ploo-ey, Mason emailed in early June to say all is well with him and his family and to recommend Patrick Henry Reardon's Christ in the Psalms, a genuinely magnificent book that all of us may wish to have in our personal libraries for nearly daily reading. Here's what Mason says:

I'm reading (slowly) an interesting book by Patrick Henry Reardon, the publisher of Touchstone magazine, titled Christ in the Psalms. Just as the title suggests, he's lookiong for types in the Hebrew Bible that Christians can use to help in their reading of the scriptures. Each Psalm gets its own chapter, and Father Reardon has intereting things to say about each one--especially how the use of the particular Psalm might differ in the Eastern and Western traditions.

If you're like me and find that your praying a psalm is often "thin," you, like me, will find that using Reardon as part of your quiet meditation on a particular psalms to be invaluable. Take a look at the many reviews of the book at www.amazon.com to see why.
