Heart Aflame - Daily Readings from Calvin in the Psalm
.. I suspect you will experience a delightful surprise as you read through these well-chosen daily meditations. For your companion for the year was not only a man who found the Psalms a mineral-rich quarry of theology, but someone who discovered his own experience mirrored in them. You will find him to be a sure-footed and wise guide, and I suspect you will come to love him - as well as the Psalms - better before the year is ended.
Calvin vividly described the Psalms as 'an anatomy of all the parts of the soul'. The description is a very apt one, since every experience, every emotion, all the heights and depths, all the joys and sorrows, all the mysteries of human life, are here.
