Every Psalm for Easy Singing

Singing the Psalter is a key to the deeply biblical spirituality of Reformed Christianity. Every Psalm for Easy Singing lives up to its title, making psalm singing practical, especially for people who do not already sing the Psalter in their church's worship services. May God use it to promote psalm singing in homes and churches throughout the world!"--Dr. Joel R.
