John L. Bell's gloriously honest book on the Psalms offers what people need to help them cope with life as it really is
Developed during his teaching ministry around the world, this book is the fruit of a lifetime's engagement with the Psalms. As a broadcaster and writer, John is loved for being entirely genuine and, in the words of Archbishop Justin Welby, 'his cogent and penetrating contributions reach an audience well beyond the churches'. Here John explores the psalms as they impinge on daily life, drawing on stories and personal testimonies in order to help readers grieve, or rejoice, or draw encouragement from this most extraordinary and fascinating collection of sacred poems and songs. 'John Bell of the Iona Community has been for many years one of the most recognized voices on BBC Radio 4's Thought for the Day, where his cogent and penetrating topical contributions reach an audience well beyond the churches.' - Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury

. . . a work of solid theological common sense – uncommon enough these days. From a lifetime of pastoral care and attention to God, Bell has provided us with a depth of understanding which we would do well to appropriate for ourselves. -- Church Times on 'Living with the Psalms'
The Last Journey: Few recordings have struck a chord as deep and profound as this heart-rending yet ultimately uplifting CD and accompanying book. -- GIA Publications
