Soul Anatomy: Finding Peace, Hope, and Joy in the Psalms

How do you worship when you're depressed? Where do you find words to express inexpressible joy? What do you pray when you need hope?

Soul Anatomy is a biblical guide for working through emotional turmoil in a gospel-centered way. It shows how the Psalms serve as a God-authored script by which to express every category of the human experience.

The Bible's inspired hymnbook guides believers through the highest summits and lowest troughs of life and invites the not-yet believer to a Redeemer who ultimately experienced all of the emotions of these prayers in his incarnation.

Author George Robertson enables readers to find a sympathetic Savior in the Psalms who experienced every human emotion, and he helps men and women see the God-inspired vocabulary for expressing every feeling to the Father.

Soul Anatomy helps men and women respond to the love of God in all the ways the psalmists do: spiritually, vocationally, physically, and volitionally. As divinely inspired prayers, God offers the vocabulary he welcomes from us when we do not know how to pray.

Discover the heart of Jesus through the prayers of Jesus, the high priest who can sympathize with us.

“The Psalms are for every mood of the Christian life—every joy, every sorrow, every anxiety, and every hope. In this devotional commentary, a wise and loving pastor illustrates and applies the biblical psalms in ways that help everyday Christians connect the gospel to the ups and downs of everyday life.”

“Soul Anatomy by my friend Pastor George Robertson is both personally honest and pastorally helpful. His honesty and vulnerability make me think, ‘Oh, I’m not alone.’ His help and wisdom make me think, ‘Oh, Jesus is real—right where I need him.’ This book gently puts the hand of the reader into the hand of Christ our Healer. Who doesn’t need that?”
