A Grove booklet first published in 1993 and revised in 2006, on the Psalms as a guide to prayer and worship. Its chapters treat the Psalms as our word to God and God's word to us, as worship, as world-creating praise, praise and commitment, the link between life and liturgy, prayer that holds two sets of facts together, prayer in pain, anger and helplessness, the Psalms in personal ministry and as testimony, and the cycle of praise and prayer. Goldingay put the revised text on his website and invites readers to reproduce it.
