Dr. Maurice Miller of Terre Haute, Indiana, has recently published a book featuring a poetic meditation on each of the Psalms of the Bible. Miller will present his new book, Psalm Songs, at a book talk and signing at Marshall Public Library on Thursday, October 14th, at 6:30 PM (Central) in the library’s Dale McConchie Meeting Room. Books will be available for purchase from the author for $10.00.
Dr. Miller explains that many of the ideas of the Psalms and words they are expressed in are difficult for today’s readers to relate to. He was determined to present poetic meditations of the Psalms in a more contemporary way. Each of his poetic in Psalm Songs keeps the idea of the Psalm within contemporary words and ideas. These are valuable for daily meditations and are true to the biblical Psalms as they are written. They are intended as a spur for readers to enhance and develop their own meditations.
