Can the bible change my life? Is there a power in the psalms? What do all these Lordly feasts in the church mean? In a world disconnected from religion, the road of spirituality can be daunting. Even discouraging at times! Thankfully, Father Matthew the Poor inspires us with this 200 page masterpiece.

“Words for our Lives” is divided into 12 chapters, with topics that include the Bible (primarily the Psalms) and important Feasts throughout the Church Year.

Not unlike our struggle, early in his monastic life, Father Matthew wrestled with his spirituality. He shares with us his personal account and how the bible changed his life. Not only is it moving, but a hope that the bible can change my life too!

The author reminds us that the psalms are a gift. “The Psalms are given as a light to illuminate man's way to God and reveal the salvation that binds him to God”. This book is a chance to rediscover the power of the psalms in my life.

Words for our Lives: The Spiritual Words of Matthew the Poor is the second in a series published by Ancient Faith Publishing. Don’t forget to check out “Words of our Faith”.
