Summary: A mediocre piece of work!
Review: One of the few Anna Riva books that I own, this one actually does contain some useful knowledge and instruction. (There is also a lot of garbage too.....just have to sort it out!) I am ambivilent about recommending it.....buy it or don't....either way, you are not missing much!

Summary: A Straightforward Reference Book...
Review: This book is a guide explaining how the Psalms can be utilized for daily prayer. There is a brief historical survey of the Psalms as an introduction. The book then gives two lists of various intentions that one can use relative to a particular Psalm. For example, to pray for health, prayerfully recite Psalms 39 or 41. Such suggestions appear in the front of the book, and a lengthier list of different suggestions is in the back. Also in the back of the book is a small collection of poems and prayers for good intentions. And, of course, all of the Psalms are in the book, as they are written in the King James version of the Bible. It's a nice little prayer reference.
There is one additional point to be made about the book. There are suggestions of using physical mediums to enhance prayer, such as different-colored candles and ritual oils for some of the devotions. This may seem unusual to some (I don't use them) but I still think that using only the prayers as spriritual practice is a good thing using this book.

Summary: It worked for me
Review: this is my first book by the author so I don't have a negative bias, I tried the prayers and they worked for me right away, that's why I gave it five stars, it's a practical book so don't expect much, the stuff I tried did work so if you like to work with Psalms I don't think you'll be dissapointed with this one, get Oribello's book too !
