“I am NOT a Bible scholar”. So states Carol Shelton Moye in her introduction to this delightful book of ‘modern’ psalms.
Ms. Moye has taken the familiar and not so familiar Psalms and transformed them into psalms or songs to fit her own life. While some of the situations alluded to in Ms. Moye’s songs are specific to her life, many of the reference and situations alluded to are familiar to most readers. But that’s the way of the Psalms. While we believe they all speak God’s word, they are not all relevant to each of us in every season of our lives. Now, please, don’t get me wrong. I am not claiming this book is divine scripture. But I do believe God’s love, faith, strength, patience and compassion shine through. This in itself, makes Psalms in the Key of My Life a welcome addition to your library. We have probably all experienced times when the Psalms are a comfort. Ms. Moye takes this a step further and expresses them in her own terminology. This is encouragement for all of us. We can express ourselves to God.
Each ‘psalm’ in the Kindle edition is direct connections to the actual Psalm making it easy to use as a devotional or just to compare the Biblical Psalm with Ms. Moye’s song.
