| Still Waters and Skyscrapers: The 23rd Psalm for the 21st Century What can a psalm about green pastures, calm waters and a shepherd's staff possibly have to do with our urban world of concrete buildings, 24/7 schedules and creeping rush-hour traffic? Many people--Christians and the nonreligious alike--can still recite Psalm 23. Frequently heard at funerals and in films, it is a source of comfort in times of grief or fear. But there is more to it than that, asserts author Dave Tomlinson. In Still Waters and Skyscrapers, Tomlinson creatively reintroduces you to a passage of Scripture you only thought you knew. Far more than just words to speak during times of trial, Psalm 23 is a song of life that "teaches us about the nature of faith in every situation." This fresh-faith take on the best-known psalm weaves together biblical study, personal stories, anecdotes and links to popular culture to give you a new perspective on this beloved piece of biblical poetry. 0.34" H x 8.46" L x 5.58" W (0.41 lbs) 124 pages Publisher: Baker Books US SRP: $ 12.99 US Pub Date: November 2006 Author Information: Dave Tomlinson is the vicar of St. Luke's Church, Holloway, in North London, and former leader of Holy Joe's, an unconventional "church" that met in a London pub.
