In the Lord I Take Refuge 150 Daily Devotions through the Psalms by Dane C. Ortlund - Crossway
In the Lord I Take Refuge invites readers to experience the Psalms in a new and refreshing way, featuring devotional content written by Dane Ortlund.
“This world has beauty and delight as well as brokenness and pain. As joy and sorrow mingle together, we long for words to express both our cries for deliverance and our songs of rejoicing. Dane Ortlund’s new devotional, In the Lord I Take Refuge, invites us to commune with God through the words of the Psalms. These encouraging daily reflections will guide your prayers, refresh your heart, and strengthen your soul as you walk with God in the ups and downs of life.”
—Melissa B. Kruger, Director of Women’s Initiatives, The Gospel Coalition; author, Growing Together
“This devotional book beautifully reminds us that we need no better devotional material than the Psalms themselves. Dane Ortlund is pointing the way, serving as a wise and restrained guide to help us enter and join the prayers and praises of the psalter. He never fails to point us to Christ, the Savior who shines through the Psalms from beginning to end.”
—Kathleen Nielson, author; speaker; Senior Adviser, The Gospel Coalition
“This is a book to keep by your bed, to begin or end each day feeding on these words God has given to us to pray and sing back to him. Dane’s brief insights into each psalm help us to bridge the gap between the psalmist’s time and our own, between his battles, questions, joys, desires, and laments and our own, leading us to love and worship.”
—Nancy Guthrie, Bible teacher; author, Even Better than Eden
“Here it is! A devotional book based on the Bible’s own devotional book. It is an idea so obvious we may have missed it because—unlike our spiritual forefathers, who often read through the book of Psalms every week—we have allowed ourselves to be obsessed with the short term and the quick fix and to become devoted to the latest thing. But now the author whose Gentle and Lowly has helped so many to see Christ more clearly takes us gently by the hand to Jesus’s own devotional manual, the prayer book he loved, and the blueprint for his own life and ministry, and leads us to him all over again, day after day. Thank you, Dane Ortlund, for more treasure!”
—Sinclair B. Ferguson, Chancellor’s Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary; Teaching Fellow, Ligonier Ministries
“A book like this is hard to find: not a commentary on the Psalms but a brief model, from a trusted voice, on how to meditate on them. Come to be fed by Dane’s meditations and learn how to meditate for yourself; to take a word or phrase in context and linger over it to obtain food, in Christ, for your soul; and to enrich and deepen your own communion with Christ in the Bible’s songbook. Take up and feed.”

* The Pastor as Counselor. The call for soul care. By David Powlison - Crossway
Traduzco a continuación al español un artículo que escribió el autor del libro, puedes leerlo en este enlace: https://lucyreyna.blogspot.com/2021/06/por-que-los-pastores-tienen-una.html
This book is for men, for shepherds. I just read it because it was a gift (my husband likes David Powlison and when there are books by him I like to get them) and because although I am a woman and obviously not a pastor, I enjoy learning a lot from David. Powlison is excellent in the area of biblical counseling.
This is a short book, it has about 80 pages, you read it in a couple of sessions.
ENGLISH:
I think it is a book that serves as encouragement and exhortation for Pastors, (especially for those who do not like the area of Counseling so much and prefer to dedicate their efforts and time to other areas). It is a book that can also be very useful for people who serve in the area of Christian Counseling. Why? because when reading it you will realize the UNIQUE characteristics that direct counseling with a pastor has and not so much with an "amateur" or even with a "professional" be it a psychologist, psychiatrist, counselor, life coach, etc. It is a book that makes you value and respects the pastors who advise because what they say can be taken as from God.
With each page that turned, he thought about how many stories David Powlison would have lived to express himself that way. I also thought when reading everything he exposes, that it is sad that that area is increasingly being delegated to other people, I think that by reading it, every pastor could feel encouraged to venture out and embrace this incomparable vocation that he has. It is a unique opportunity that God has given you to intervene for the good in someone else's life.
Give thanks for your shepherd and the time he takes to listen to prayer and to get involved in the spiritual and emotional life of his sheep, his work is unique, his vocation also incomparable. Reading this can help you understand it better.
