Through the Psalms V4

Bennett’s devotional commentaries on the Psalms, covering Psalms 107–150 – Book Five of the Psalter. Most of the forty-four psalms in this final book are anonymous, although there is a small David collection running from Psalm
138 to 145. In this volume, we have both the shortest (Psalm 117) and the longest psalm (Psalm 119). For the latter, Tony has broken his golden rule of giving each psalm only one exposition, having run to eight expositions on
this giant of the Psalter. The format and aim of the book remain the same as in the first three volumes: to show each psalm’s historical setting, explain its meaning, apply its teaching to our daily lives, and see how the psalmist
points us to Christ, all in just six pages.

AUTHOR

Tony Bennett lives in Lymington, Hampshire, and is a member of New Milton Evangelical Free Church. He assists with the preaching ministry in a number of
churches in Hampshire and Dorset. This is his eighth devotional book published by Day One. Before retirement, he taught American Politics, first at the Royal Hospital School, Ipswich, and then at Charterhouse, Godalming, where he also served as deputy headmaster.

COMMENDATION

‘Tony Bennett hits the spot by providing clear and insightful answers to three basic questions: What is this Psalm about? How does it speak to me? How does it lead me to Jesus? Read this book as a daily devotional or as stimulus for preaching and you will be
blessed.’

Colin S. Smith, Senior Pastor, The Orchard, Arlington Heights, Chicago, US

‘What I especially liked about this book is that it is written by someone who is not just well informed about the Psalms, but who clearly uses the Psalms and is blessed by them. Tony Bennett is attentive to the Psalms in their original contexts, helps us see the fullness of their meaning in Christ, and then shows us how we can join in too. Reading these devotions is like having a friend alongside you, who not only points out things of interest, but who gently keeps asking, ‘Is this a song you could sing as well?’ I expect it to be a blessing to many.’

Revd Christopher Henderson, Pastor, Anchor Church, Lymington & Pennington, Hampshire, UK
