He Hears Your Praising

HE HEARS YOUR PRAISINGYou made it through the valley. Now it is time to sing.He Hears Your Praising is the final book in the He Hears Series - the destination that grief, anger, and doubt have all been moving toward. Ten psalms of celebration written by people who had been in the dark and came out the other side with more gratitude than they knew what to do with. Their praise is not thin or untested. It is the thick, costly, hard-won praise of people who went all the way down and found, at the bottom, that God was still there.He heard your weeping. He heard your anger. He heard your doubting. Now He hears your praise.These are not psalms written by people who had easy lives. They are psalms written by people who had survived - who had grieved, wrestled, doubted, and held on - and who came out the other side with something they could not have manufactured in a comfortable life. Their praise cost them something. That is what makes it ring so true. From the wonder of Psalm 8, to the joyful noise of Psalm 100, to the all-out, cymbal-clashing, breath-required invitation of Psalm 150 - these are songs for people who have earned them.This is not a book that asks you to perform happiness or arrive at celebration before you are ready. It is a book that walks with you through the psalms of praise and shows you that praise is not a feeling that comes and goes but a practice that forms the person who builds it - and that the God who is greatly to be praised has given you more reasons than you have yet counted. Each chapter walks through a complete psalm - its historical background, the personal story behind it, and what it has to say to someone standing at the edge of praise right now.He Hears Your Praising includes ten deep psalm studies on praise, worship, and celebration, historical and personal context for each psalm and its writer, devotional sections written for every stage of the journey, and reflection questions for personal journaling or small group discussion.Whether you have just come through a hard season and are ready, however tentatively, to begin again - or whether you simply want to go deeper into what it means to praise a God who has been faithful through everything - this book was written for you.Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.He Hears Your Praising is Book Four in the He Hears Series by Nancy Elliott - a four-book study through the psalms of grief, anger, doubt, and praise.
