Overview
Great is God’s Faithfulness is a devotional book based on selected Biblical Psalms. It addresses the faithfulness of God through scripture and my own life experiences in story and other media. The book was generated for the broad audience of those dealing with the challenges of life. It is presented from the author’s Judeo-Christian perspective.
It was designed to be presented for small group ministry or for individual life journeys. The Psalms were written over several hundred years to address many of our human emotions. Although the Psalms speak loudly by themselves, I have added several dimensions to the book to expand the learning and experience for the reader. The length is determined by some 40 Psalms together corresponding to the approximate length of stay at Rogers Memorial Hospital, a psychiatric facility in Wisconsin. It probably would not have been written if a Rogers chaplain had not urged him during a long convalescence from hip surgery.
A landscape photograph composed by artist Doug Frank, my cousin, accompanies each Psalm. These photographs, which hang is many art museums, speak to the mystery of God’s creation and are meant to deepen the experience of reading. Also there is a meditation or reflection accompanying each Psalm and a relevant quotation and/or prayer to go with it. These are Psalms of the heart, so I have also included accessible music sites that play to the Psalm and its mood or melody. This book is uniquely interactive, asking the reader to join in with questions for meditation and prayer, for responsive writing or even drawing. The multi-dimensional approach is to help address and plumb the depths or our various learning styles.
This devotional book is written with an accompanying blog designed for continuing interaction with readers on life’s journey through trials and temptations.
