Freedom To, Within Freedom’s Gain

Just a Canada Day (July 1) and Fourth Of July (July 4th) comment for citizens of earth, and heaven.

Isn’t it wonderful to live on a continent where we can freely rip our nation to shreds, both verbally and practically, from the safety of the very freedoms it sustains for us?

No one (most probably) today will be killed for maligning their nation or its current state here; I’ll live and serve, and challenge, in a place on earth like that. My wife lived at times in her life in places where that was not true, so we’re grateful today for imperfect nations like Canada and the United States.

Sheltering Mercy and Endless Grace help us rediscover the rich treasures of the Psalms—through free-verse prayer renderings of their poems and hymns—as a guide to personal devotion and meditation. Sheltering Mercy helps the reader pray Psalms 1-75; Endless Grace leads in prayer through Psalms 76-150.

The church has always used the Psalms as part of its prayer life, and they have inspired countless other prayers. Each book contains 75 prayers drawn from the Book of Psalms, providing lyrical sketches of what authors Ryan Smith and Dan Wilt have seen, heard, and felt while sojourning there. Each prayer is a response to the Psalms written in harmony with Scripture. These prayers help us quiet our hearts before God and welcome us into a safe place amid the storms of life.

These artful, poetic, and classic devotional books are a perfect gift, and feature compelling stunning illustrations and hardcover binding, offering a fresh way to reflect on and pray the Psalms. Co-written with Ryan Whitaker Smith, Brazos Publishing.
