Good friend and artist Judith Brannen sent me this today:
I said to the man
who stood at the gate of the year
“Give me a light
that I may tread safely
into the unknown.”
And he replied-
“Go out into the Darkness
and put your hand into
the hand of God.
That shall be to you better
than light and safer than
a known way.”
–M.L. Haskins; quoted by His Majesty the King in an Empire Broadcast

How rich.

Sheltering Mercy, along with its companion volume, Endless Grace, helps us rediscover the rich treasures of the Psalms—through free-verse prayer renderings of their poems and hymns—as a guide to personal devotion and meditation.
The church has always used the Psalms as part of its prayer life, and they have inspired countless other prayers. This book contains 75 prayers drawn from Psalms 1-75, providing lyrical sketches of what authors Ryan Smith and Dan Wilt have seen, heard, and felt while sojourning in the Psalms. Each prayer is a response to the Psalms written in harmony with Scripture. These prayers help us quiet our hearts before God and welcome us into a safe place amid the storms of life.
This artful, poetic, and classic devotional book features compelling custom illustrations and foil-stamped hardcover binding, offering a fresh way to reflect on and pray the Psalms.
