(Inspired by David, prophet and king) This BOOK OF SHORT PSALMS is unique in contemporary spiritual literature. Inspired by the Psalter of King David, which is the abiding expression of prayer, this book contains 150 psalms composed in 'classical' poetic form. They contain profound reflections on life and death and spiritual life in all its varied forms. The reader will find how to engage constant invisible combat with the passions and other temptations through sincere repentance, based on firm faith in God-who-loves-His-creation and will also be introduced to many other important ascetical questions. Christians of all denominations can discover in these psalms a source of prayer, and all those who are already familiar with Bishop Paul's spiritual poems will delight in this beautiful Psalter, which contains the essence of his theological and ascetical reflection.
