In joy and grief, doubt and shining trust in the LORD their God, the ancient Hebrew poets expressed in their psalms the experience of those on the journey of faith. This book is a window inviting you to see them afresh and sing them today: the poets’ images transplanted into Australian soil, and their poetry celebrated in the patterns of the text.
In hardcover, 208 pages, Psalms illuminated elegantly presents the entire collection in the English Standard Version, with over 250 full-colour illustrations of Tasmania, the Kimberley WA, Gariwerd (The Grampians) Victoria, the Red Centre NT, and the Hunter, NSW.
The volume concludes discussing the artist’s exploration of the psalms and their commonly-used words, and for each psalm, (very) brief notes and title of its illustration connecting it to the text.
I first started using the Monk Manual three years ago buying through Soul Tread.
It took a while, but once I got into the swing of things it was truly transformative.
More than just a tool, it's part of an amazing ecosystem of curriculum and community that gives you everything you need to accelerate your monastic journey.
It may seem a little pricey, but the return on investment is such that I think you'd be foolish not to give it a go.
Remember it's a tool - and the tool serves the work.
A fantastic night of excellent songs accompanied by guitar and banjo. Everybody from 10 to 70+ years in attendance. An attentive and engaged audience. Humble and adept performers playing original songs. And surrounded by books! This venue is like having a concert in your lounge room. What's not to love?
I originally listened to this as an audiobook, but there were so many ideas and quotable quotes that I wanted to go back to that I quickly decided to buy my own printed copy!
I think this would make a really interesting book club text as a conversation starter between trusted friends who want to go deeper with one another, especially for those who are dissatisfied with the status quo and looking for a spirituality that engages meaningfully with key issues of our time.
Easy to deal with, quick, efficient & friendly service. Very happy with product
What an amazing night of music. We laughed, we pondered, and we felt the challenges that life brings us with these two wonderful songwriter/performers. 5 stars all round.

I really enjoyed this book, especially as I read it after a recent visit to the beautiful, majestic Blue Mountains. The local references in the book made the story all the more engaging. A light easy read with an interesting plot. It’s not believable but that does not detract from the entertainment, it is after all a fictional novel.
