Understand the Psalms at a Deeper Level with 10 Minutes in the Word

I just had the opportunity to enjoy 10 Minutes in the Word - Proverbs, hoping they would make one of these devotionals for every book in the Bible! Obviously, I had to pick up 10 Minutes in the Word - Psalms.

This pretty little book did not disappoint. I love the clean branding; the navy blue and gold coloring just screams "summer devotional" to me! 

The 10 Minutes in the Word devotionals follow the same basic outline. Each devotional begins with several Bible verses, a Bible passage to read (in this book, 1-3 Psalms per devotional), 2 pages of devotional material, a prayer, and a call-out with a final takeaway. The devotionals unpack the context of the scripture--for instance, why David or Asaph wrote the Psalm--and how that can be applied to our lives today. 

I like a lot about this series and this devotional in particular:
-The Psalms subject--this is a more accessible book of the Bible for those growing their faith and a great place to start with study like this.
-The contextual references--this helped me understand the Psalms at a deeper level and have a different understanding of them. 
-The "10 Minutes" concept--there really is no excuse not to have devotional time with something as simple, accessible, and straightforward as this. 

This would make a great gift or a devotional to dive into over the summer. I hope they publish more in this series!
