In this remarkable book, Martyn Percy offers a new reading of the Psalms to shed light on the help and comfort we can find in the midst of darkness and solitude.Martyn Percy explains how the Psalms fortified him during a time of great difficulty, and how they can help others who encounter difficulties of their own whether as a result of Covid, recession, grief, abuse or personal hardship.In three sections - Going Through Fire, Being in the Darkness and the Grace of God Percy walks us through the meaning of the Psalms that are meant to sustain us through times of intense personal suffering.
