Longing for Home: A Journey Through the Psalms of Ascent

Christians are on a journey. It is fraught with joys and sorrows, pleasant valleys and perilous mountains, encouraging gains and crippling losses. When we feel besieged on our journey we tend to turn to whatever we think can help us-and then lose sight of our destination. This book directs our attention to the help God has given us in the Psalms of Ascent. In these psalms we journey with our brothers and sisters through life's many ups and downs on our way to Zion, the city of God. They guide us onto the path of God-glorifying desires, emotions, and thoughts. They shape our perspectives, equip us to pray in faith, regulate our feelings, inform our judgments, and beckon us to fix our eyes heavenward as we journey homeward.
