Acoustic Psalms - 4 October 2011 |

Matt Searles, an old friend of mine, has produced an outstanding 11-track collection of Psalms entitled “Now and Not Yet.” You can listen to the entire collection free online, and after you’ve decided that you want a copy you can download it in a variety of formats for just £8.
Here’s an extract from the blurb:
We need the psalms. Not only does God graciously reveal himself to us in his word, but he also gives us vocabulary to express our experience of him. The psalms speak of joy, confidence, celebration and praise, but also despair, grief, questioning and doubt. Rather than deny these feelings, our loving Father tells us to bring them all to him. The psalms are the words he gives us to do this.
The psalms speak of the great joy there is in this life in following the Lord, but also the fact that we await the new heavens and earth before we’ll fully experience all the blessings that are ours in Christ. In short, the psalms speak of what is now and not yet.
In memory of Rosie Searles (1949-2010). Proceeds from the sale of this album will be given to Christianity Expored, a cause to which Rosie was so committed in the final few years of her life.
