The Lord is my shepherd : the healing wisdom of the twenty-third psalm

The Lord is my shepherd is a book of practical spirituality, inspiration and encouragement gleaned from what may be the best-known chapter in the Bible: the Twenty-third Psalm. "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want." So begins the psalm that, for millennia, has been a source of comfort in grief and of courage in fear. In this book Harold Kushner discovers what it has to teach us about living our day-to-day lives. Each chapter discusses one line of the psalm in the context of both the time when it was written and the present day, and illuminates the life lessons contained within it. The author also draws on the ideas and thoughts of various spiritual figures--from G.K. Chesterton to Martin Buber to Paul Tillich--to further expand our understanding of this great psalm and help us benefit from its everyday spiritual wisdom.

  • "A gentle and practical interpretation of the power of the most familiar of biblical Psalms."
  • "Honored as one of fifty people who have made the world a better place, Rabbi Harold Kushner offers this meditation on the beloved Twenty-third Psalm. Unpacking the psalm line by line, Kushner probes it s capacity to offer us guidance and consolation in this most uncertain world. For example, in the image of God leading us by still waters, Kushner reminds us that His presence can also recalls the insights of others: for example, G.K. Chesterton's reading of "my cup runneth over," which acknowledges that just as children delight when Santa puts toys in their stockings, we should be grateful when God puts into out stockings two healthy legs. A gift of wit and grace."@en
