Gibson provides canonical context for the Psalm’s beautiful imagery, inspiring praise and wonder as readers reflect on the loving Shepherd who meets every need.

A beautiful gift

Psalm 23 may be one of, if not the, most famous psalm, yet David Gibson brings a freshness, highlighting some profound insights we may have overlooked. The six verses of the psalm are split into three parts: the Sheep and the Shepherd, the Traveller and the Companion, the Guest and the Host. My church has recently been studying Exodus and so I was particularly struck by how Gibson brings out the Exodus undertones in the psalm. He beautifully shepherds us through the verses on our journey to see Christ more clearly. This appealing hardback, cloth-bound edition would be the ideal gift, for yourself or to give away.

Unmissable

I bought this at the Keswick Convention, slightly doubting whether it would really offer new insights into a familiar psalm, as was promised when it was reviewed on stage. I was gripped by this book and will return to it again and again, it is well-written, easy to read and explains so clearly beautiful truths about this psalm that I hadn't heard or read before, ones that you want to linger in your thoughts for as long as possible. I would rate this book as unmissable and I wouldn't say that about many books!

Read slowly!

This is a great little book to read slowly. 184 pages on six verses might seem like a much, but there is treasure in these hills. I found it very helpful to slow down and dwell on the detail of this Psalm over several weeks. I've recommended it widely and know others have found it helpful too.
