40 ideas for Lent
  5. READ THE PSALMS
MON 11 FEB

Over the days of Lent, read through the entire Book of Psalms in order.

Idea by: jlg

The poet and spiritual writer Jim Cotter has produced his own version of all 150 psalms, called Psalms for a Pilgrim People. They are a paraphrase rather than a translation: some of them are fairly close to the original, while others are more of a meditation sparked off by the psalm. They are certainly worth reading alongside if not in place of the scriptural text. If you'd like to order a copy, the book is available on Amazon UK and Amazon US.
