The book of Psalms is thought to be the most read book of the Bible by Jews and Christians alike. It is the book Jesus most often quotes, most famously from the cross (Matt. 27:46; Mark 15:34). The psalms respond to the deepest needs of the human heart, from the heights of joy to the depths of despair. Psalms have sustained people for centuries, which is why we encourage you and the children to learn some of them by heart, so you will always have them with you.
