Book Review: Songs of a Suffering King by J.V. Fesko

The book of Psalms has always been one of my favorite books of the Bible. I love the depth of the prayers as well as the honesty of the one who is writing the Psalm. The Psalms, like the rest of the Bible, points us to Jesus Christ.

J.V. Fesko, Songs of a Suffering King, takes the first eight Psalms and teaches the reader that these psalms are pointing to Jesus. For example, writing about Psalm 1, Fesko said,

Christ was the One who did not walk, stand, or sit in the counsel, path, or seat of the wicked. Christ delighted Himself in the law of His heavenly Father; not only was He completely obedient to it but he also meditated upon it day and night. Jesus told His disciples: "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work (John 4:34).

A short book that contains sound doctrine and healthy teaching on the Psalms. I recommend this book for anyone studying the Psalms and/or the Old Testament.

Thanks Reformation Heritage Books for letting me review this book.
