C. S. Lewis
In one of his most enlightening works, C. S. Lewis shares his ruminations on both the form and the meaning of selected psalms. In the introduction he explains, "I write for the unlearned about things in which I am unlearned myself." Consequently, he takes on a tone of thoughtful collegiality as he writes on one of the Bible's most elusive books.
Characteristically graceful and lucid, Lewis cautions us that the psalms were originally written as songs that should now be read in the spirit of lyric poetry rather than as doctrinal treatises or sermons. Drawing from daily life as well as the literary world, Lewis begins to reveal the mystery that often shrouds the psalms.

“A detailed attempt to find the inner meaning and values of one limited part of the Bible.”
(New York Times Book Review)“For the last thirty years of his life, no other Christian writer in this country had such an influence on the general reading public as C. S. Lewis.”
(Times Literary Supplement (London))“Illuminating and rewarding.”
(Christian Herald)“C. S. Lewis [makes] religion provoking, memorable, and delightful.”
(Kirkus Reviews)He was a man with top intelligence and education, yet with a childlike, simple faith, which is a wonderful combination.
Chapter 8, on nature is so topical, as regards the almost pagan attitude to nature of these modern times; especially with the over emphasis on climate change, recycling, conservation (my amplification); explaining the difference between ‘divinity’ or ‘deity’
In chapter 9 speaking of ‘praising God’ I want to add another part to the act of speaking and singing praise to God; to me this is like a spiritual warfare, where we are speaking God into the air around us, our lives, not exactly ‘making God manifest’, but there is that aspect to it. In which case ever giving praise is a blessing to ourselves and keeping the channel of Gods presence alive and open, like a cloud of blessing over our own lives.

Highlight for me was this quote, when talking about praising God:
“I think we delight to praise what we enjoy, because the praise not merely expresses but completes the enjoyment.”
Beautiful, and simple
