A Living Psalter: Creative Reflections on the Book of Psalms is one faith community's attempt to appropriate the ancient hymns of Israel in a postmodern context. This book is filled with poetry, art, photography, and short stories that provide creative reflections on the Book of Psalms. They invite the reader into a faithful, yet deeply human conversation with God. The creative work in this book covers the extremes of human emotion from exuberant praise to heart-heavy lament. It is a great resource for rediscovering the Psalter as the central prayer book of the church.

Lentz, Geoffrey D

Geoffrey D. Lentz is a native of Pensacola, Florida and serves as the pastor of First United Methodist Church of Port St Joe in Port St. Joe, FL. With a B.A. degree in Psychology from the University of West Florida and a Master of Divinity from Duke University, Rev. Lentz combined his knowledge of ancient church history with creative and innovative worship during his appointment at First United Methodist in Pensacola, FL. to create the church's fourth Sunday morning service called ICON. This cutting edge, tradition rich, and Christ centered style of worship is rapidly becoming the example for the future of Christian worship.
