Having grown up in church, there was always something about the gospel that didn't quite click for me. I am sure most can relate to the narrative of good vs evil, heaven vs hell or even God vs the devil, and this is true: the thing about truth is that it has many facets. I always felt like there is more in the bible that isn't being talked about. Most can relate to a scripture jumping off of the page and becoming real to you because it was heard in a way that it hasn't been heard before. This book is an embodiment of that experience I live in a suburb of Tulsa and in 2001 I was in a car accident that put me in a coma for 6 weeks. I then was in wheel chair and rehab for about 3 months learning how to walk again and everything that comes with being autonomous. This is where the scriptures I had heard and read my whole life were starting be understood from a place of completion.The Bible was like a new book because I started to understand that I wasn't trying to follow it's directions to get God to do something that hasn't been done. He has already done everything and I am trying to keep myself in a position to receive what has always been available.This book will not change Jesus and His death, burial and resurrection from being the main thing. It will solidify the fact that Gentiles have never been under the Law of Moses and they are the only ones that can accuse themselves. The only thing we need to be concerned with is Jesus being a new High Priest and keeping His one commandment.

As James Brandon read and studied the Psalms over the years, he came to realize that the Lord was talking to our souls through these ancient songs.He was also struck by a book written in the 1800s by a man named Hawker, who after reading one of the Psalms would exclaim: "Oh my soul, what is this that thou hast found in the Holy Writ?" He would talk to his soul after reading the text.The author began to read the Psalms and reflect on what each one said to his soul. He has done that for fifty years.In this book, he focuses on the Psalms of Moses, which encompass Psalms 90 to 106. They may have been collected by "the men of Hezekiah" during the reign of King Hezekiah and/or by Ezra following the Babylonian Captivity. It was titled "The Numbers Book"-the Wilderness Sojourn and the Promised Land. (The Pulpit Commentary, Vol. 8, 254; The Companion Bible, "Psalms," 720).The Psalms are a wonderland of devotion. They have enlightened the author's mind and encouraged his spirit. They can do the same for you-all while providing principles for living this life as you help others walk with the Lord.

This book disagrees about the traditional viewpoint of the Christian wife's role at home, and advocates married women to work and have their own careers. This viewpoint is based on careful exegesis of the relevant biblical scriptures throughout the Bible. It also proposes that fathers rather than mothers shall be primary teachers for their children at home. In addition, this book also suggests that mothers should not take on the responsibility for homeschooling unless they are called to teach young people at home. Hope these refreshed biblical interpretations from a female Calvinist can shed new light on Christian women's roles and virtue at home.
