Psalms for Healing: Praying with Those in Need

Comfort patients, family, and caregivers with the beauty of the Psalms. When Rev. Person worked as a chaplain in a Mayo hospital, patients frequently asked her to read psalms and pray with them. The Psalms contain beautiful, comforting language, but are often surrounded by verses that are not relevant to healing. Person has created a resource that any caregiver-chaplain, nurse, hospice worker, pastor, or family member-will treasure. It is a Psalter, created entirely from the Psalms, but culled in such a way as to retain only the most helpful verses.
