Although the book of Psalms can be overly familiar terrain for many, in The Ascent John Greco guides us up a mountain of sorts to view the Psalms with fresh perspective. Greco highlights connections to other portions of Scripture to help the reader feel the heartbeat of God. --Anna Nash, director of Beacon People and co-author of Christmas Matters: How the Birth of Jesus Makes a Difference Every Day and Easter Matters: How the Resurrection of Jesus Changes You As a Bible geek like John, I thought I knew the Psalms fairly well. But delving into the riches that are contained in this book turned me into a hungry learner. These devotionals will enrich your mind, warm your heart, and inspire your spirit. --Bill Delvaux, founder of Landmark Journey Ministries and author of Heroic: The Surprising Path to True Manhood Fresh, honest, and insightful, The Ascent is like taking a tour with a wise and encouraging friend. Even if you've read the Psalms a hundred times, John will show you things you've never seen before. --Len Woods, author of 101 Important Words of the Bible and 101 Important Words about Jesus I have read through the Psalms many times and yet never like this! John Greco's reflections on each psalm brought new joy and life into these words I already love so much. He offers wisdom, context, and gospel-centered perspective. Greco earnestly points back to Jesus with each entry, all the while balancing an understanding of our humanness with the everlasting power of who God is. If you are looking for an intriguing way to read through the Psalms, this book is for you. A must read! --Maria Furlough, author of Breaking the Fear Cycle and Confident Moms, Confident Daughters
