I have such mixed feelings about this book. I have spent many summers in the Psalms. I thought I would try this version that my first spiritual director, Sister Joan, would use to open our sessions. I have often used Psalm 23 in my sessions with people. It has opened such wonderful conversations with my directees.
But, some of the Psalms are so off base. So far removed from what the psalm is actually saying. It is as if she had a bee in her bonnet about some issue, and she wanted to put it into the psalm.
Also, she had trouble saying that God is KING. She would use another word that really did not deliver what the psalmist was saying.
What is wrong with saying God is KING?
What is wrong with saying God is KING?
Yet, there are some paraphrased parts that are absolutely beautiful.
I don't think I can recommend this book, but I am glad that I went through the whole thing to know this.
