N.T. Wright is passionate about using the Psalms in both private and corporate worship. His passion is contagious and I was reminded how seldom I am in the Psalms.

He shows how the Psalms relate to time, space, and matter: Time because the invoke the past and anticipate the future, Space because heaven and earth meet in the temple, and matter because God delights in all he has made.

I had a hard time staying engaged while reading, but that has more to do with me than N. T. Wright's writing style, I'm sure. My favorite chapter was the last in which he relates real-life incidents from his life and how a particular Psalm spoke to him in a meaningful way during those times.
