This volume is structurally similar to the 150 ancient songs of the Bible attributed to King David. However, the content is based on modern thought in the continuing quest for spiritual enlightenment. The songs turn away from revenge and fear giving today's reader a contemporary approach to sustaining their faith. Each stanza was written as a prayer, or a plea to God, not just for mercy for us, but for strength to be merciful to others. Just as the twenty-third psalm comforts us in our grief, so do these psalms show us a pathway to healing when death robs us of those we love. Each song has been written from a theme that was chosen for its relevance.
