About this listen

Authentic Benedictine Chants You Can Learn at Home

Fifteen-hundred years ago, St. Benedict established a system of ora et labora prayer and work that monastics still follow today. Central to this prayerful integration of body and spirit is psalmody, or chanting the psalms. In Singing the Psalms, Episcopal priest Cynthia Bourgeault shows how the psalms can awaken rich spiritual and psychological insights accessible to you today, whatever your level of vocal skill or theological understanding.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Refreshing with so much depth and new perspectives. I feel like David singing the Psalms, knowing this is what Jesus sang. So good!

Great book, loved it!

I loved every moment of 'Singing the Psalms'. I had never heard Cynthia Bourgeault speak before, but she has a beautiful voice and an engaging style of presenting her work. If nothing else, I find that I would go a long way to experience her saying the word 'water'! That aside, she presents the history and traditions of both singing the Psalms and praying the Hours beautifully. There is so much information and practical advice here but it never becomes boring or overwhelming, and her simple way of describing how anyone can incorporate singing the Psalms into their spiritual life is deeply encouraging. The examples given are beautiful, the tiny liturgies at the end of the book were unexpected and delightful, and the accompanying PDF is helpful, I will definitely be listening more than once!

Just wonderful!
