Honest to God

In this series of meditations on the Psalms, James C. Schaap invites you to take off on a riff the way a blues saxophonist might. Even if you don't have a musical bone in your body, he wants you to pick up a pen or a pencil and respond to the melody these meditations bring to mind. Let loose. Let yourself go. Let yourself dream. You don't have to wonder whether your thoughts pass muster or if you've got it right. The Psalms teach us that God has a really thick skin. So write your honest hopes, doubts, and dreams. In the process, you'll find out what you know and believe. Honest to God is an inspiring daily faith exercise—and a thoughtful gift for the creative people in your life.
