Jones, Webb find faith their way – USATODAY.com

I’m always thrilled when I see a believing artist punching forward not just in Christian circles, but in popular culture. Clad in living faith, artful voicing and confident love, we move forward.

Here’s an article on Derek Webb and Rickie Lee Jones, seeking to disarm the culture about what it means to have faith in Jesus, but pressing the culture on political, social and spiritual issues.

Good on ’em. To me, this is the way of optimal influence for creative leaders, along with our daily acts of love, service, goodness – and serving within our faith communities.

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.
