Authors Rumble and Rose offer a religious study guide that furnishes the knowledge, comfort, and outreach inherent in two Old Testament books, Psalms and Proverbs. The Book of Psalms, explored here in a conscientious, lively manner, contains one hundred and fifty segments, comprising the Holy Bible's longest book. Psalm 1 details qualities of godliness, a fitting introduction to this dynamic array. The authors have essays appropriate to each of the psalms, utilizing credible concepts and modern language to attract the reader's attention.

The title of each segment is designed to capture interest in these clear, well-considered materials. Psalm 123, for example, is titled "The Upward Look Is Always Good," demonstrating that those in the spiritual arena must fix their vision, as the Holy Bible states, "past the lesser and unto the greatest." In Proverbs, Rumble and Rose have assiduously mined that book for further wisdom, such as the message in Proverbs 4, which offers the promise that the path to God always grows brighter as the journey proceeds, closing with the authors' encouragement to "keep smiling."

Rumble is a dedicated minister whose sermons and church-founding efforts have been shared both in the US and around the globe. His partnership with Rose reveals a shared, finely honed view of biblical wisdom and God's power and care as conveyed in the two significant Old Testament books, deftly intertwined with the readily perceivable, everyday practicality required to grasp, absorb, and deepen those gifts. The result is a fascinating, intelligent, and enjoyable investigation with potential to enhance readers' understanding across a wide spectrum. This lively collocation continually stresses God's identity alongside the duties and devotions that can and should be adapted by sincere worshippers and all those considering adapting these possibilities of acceptance and action.
