All the Psalms are printed out. There is space for making notes and some fun graphics to colour in. If you learn best visually, then this book is for you.
The illustrations are beautiful. I was transfixed. The book is more about the boat (Carpathia) that rescued the Titanic (as the name suggests) and less about the Titanic itself. The book has been in my wishlist for months and it has exceeded my expectations.
Foster’s Celebration was invaluable in my spiritual growth journey. The book instills in you the deep sense that these exercises are simply the foundation to obedient living. Excellent work. A must read!
