Psalms: Soul Songs
Description
How often do you get the tune of a mindless song stuck in your head? It’s one way that Christians can end up thinking and wanting things just like the world around us. So God has given us a collection of songs that can help us re-tune our hearts to what He thinks and wants instead.
You may feel as if your soul is downcast or sick — troubled by worry, sin, suffering, fear or guilt. David, the Israelite king who wrote many of these songs, tells us that the Word of God revives the soul — it’s powerful stuff! And how to revive your soul is the theme of this selection. Mostly written by people rolling in trouble, they take us from the problems we face, and turn us back to God, the rock.
In these psalms you will find medicine for your soul. Learn to fear God instead of others, to trust Him in difficult times and to sing a new song to the God who saves.
Other information
The Good Book Guides have been developed to ensure that each session not only seeks to uncover the meaning of the passage and see how it fits into the big picture of the Bible, but also leads people to apply what they have learnt to their lives. Flexible and practical, the Good Book Guides are ideal for small groups, or individual study.Table of contents

Customer Reviews
Refreshing and challenging.
Our group have enjoyed looking at Psalms in this way and we have managed to get quite a lot out of them. It has been refreshing and challenging. One or two of the group have pointed out that some of the questions are repetitive and overly simple, but it possible to get round that.
I have used Good Book Guides quite extensively with two groups and have mainly found the material excellent. Just one comment to make though - it would be helpful if the Leaders Notes were in a separate book, as we find sometimes, instead of thinking things through in the group, the "answers" from the back are just trotted out without much thought, and I like to encourage people to think for themselves! 
Refreshing Psalms
This study book is refreshing and just as good as other Tim Chester study guides. Our group have enjoyed finding why the Psalms were written, the circumstances and bible passage that may relate to them being written and how they are SO relevant to us today. It helps us study the bible with more understanding and be encouraged to see just how God uses ordinary people like us, despite their past or present situations in life.
Only one thing I would say as a down side, is that sometimes questions may repeat themselves, or maybe we just hurry on too far and dont think deep enough. But the positive encouragement we have received far outweghs this minor thing.
