The Catholic Companion to the Psalms

The Catholic Companion to the Psalms is the third book in ACTA Publications' bestselling Catholic Companion series. The psalms are woven through our culture and history, yet for many Catholics they remain an unopened gift and an undiscovered treasure. Even many people who do pray the psalms often glide over the words and miss the important literal and symbolic meanings. The psalms have inspired epic works of art, such as Handel's Messiah, and saints and martyrs have died with psalms on their lips. The Catholic Companion to the Psalms is a treasury of methods for understanding and praying the psalms. Chapters include: A Bit of Background, The Psalms as Poetry, Personalizing the Psalms, Lectio Divina on Psalms.
