Perhaps the best-known and best-loved book of the Bible, the Psalms have long held a central position in the spiritual life of Christian believers. From the original authors to the modern reader, the Psalms express human emotions, desires, and faith to God.In Psalms Now, author Leslie Brandt paraphrases the Psalms to provide Christians with new ways to celebrate the promises of protection, victory, salvation, light, and life God offers through the words of the Psalms. The paraphrases are rooted in the emotions and faith of the originals, but the modern twist helps readers understand, in everyday language, the goodness of God.

While Africa and Madagascar seem like strange and faraway places, the world in which we now live has become much smaller than many of us could ever have imagined. Moreover, even our neighbors visit the local fortuneteller, read the horoscope page in the newspaper, and attend séances that seek to reach departed friends, lovers, and family members. Consequently, as we begin a journey into faraway places, we may soon find they are not as far away as we may have expected. Part One includes recent conversations dealing with spiritual warfare, an introduction into the Malagasy Lutheran Church, and the traditional Malagasy worldview. These are the stories of those who have been rescued from the darkness of sin and brought into the light of the Gospel. Part Two looks to the Bible and the Church for explanation and historical perspective on the spiritual warfare found in the Malagasy Lutheran Church. Is it something only found in the time of Jesus and the apostles? What has the Church said in the past about such activities? Bennett explores the views of Martin Luther and other Lutheran leaders, and finally provides some helpful contemporary material and resources for dealing with spiritual warfare in today’s context. Includes a glossary of key terms, transcripts of personal interviews, bibliography, Scripture index, and subject index.
