DOWNLOAD EBOOK →These Songs of Degrees were the songs that the people of Israel would sing as they journeyed to Jerusalem for the three great feats every year. These are the Pilgrims traveling to God's Holy City to the very presence of God. They had issues to deal with, as we do, that would be a hindrance to reaching the presence of God. Let us make their songs our own, as we too are Pilgrims on our way to Heaven.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Neither a translation nor a paraphrase of the psalms, psalms for a Pilgrim People aims instead "to make the psalms prayable for those who find stumbling blocks in many of them as they have been variously translated into English," writes Jim Cotter. There is much in the psalms, written many centuries ago, that still speaks to today’s reader, but there are other passages that are troubling. Cotter’s psalms take today’s realities into account by including references to present-day issues of concern, while retaining the poetry and beauty of the originals. Jim Cotter is a priest in the Church of England, living in Sheffield and focusing his ministry on writing books of prayers and reflection, seeking to unfold the Christian inheritance in fresh ways. He is also a popular retreat leader, and visits the United States regularly.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Psalms 120–34—the “Psalms of Ascent”—are a hymnal within a larger hymnal. They are also an intensely practical travel guide. The Journey Isn’t Over warmly invites us to discover how these psalms can help us navigate through trials such as suffering, insecurity, slander, and family problems. These reflective devotionals help us experience more fully the blessings of worship and family life, finding forgiveness, cherished memories, and loving unity. Included in this unique devotional commentary are incisive questions for thought and reflection. Isaac Watt’s metrical versions of the psalms in each chapter encourage readers to offer God a great doxology of praise.
