I just finished reading The Gift of Psalms Devotional, the latest in The Word of Promise audio bible series. The Word of Promise audio bible uses celebrity voices to bring life to scripture, and this devotional selects 50 psalms and provides devotionals on different subjects related to those psalms. (It uses the NKJV and the devotions are penned by Lori Jones)
I think this devotional, as its name implies, would make an excellent gift for someone who appreciates the poetry of the psalms. Even the devotionals use very effusive words that seem to emphasize the poetic nature of some psalms. On me, however, this flowery wording is a bit lost. The same goes for the CDs: it seems like the celebrities are auditioning for the latest Shakespeare flick–they go over the top a bit.
That being said, it does offer some insights. I mentioned it in a past blog of mine here, regarding the 23rd Psalm.
The book itself comes in hardback form, and it includes 3 CDs in a sleeve in the back of the book.
(Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book from Thomas Nelson publishers as part of their blogger review program. Even though I wouldn’t put this oneamong my favorites, I hope they keep sending me their books!)
