Recensioner i media

”David VanDrunen is one of the clearest and most precise Reformed thinkers about the Christian life. What a treat that he has put his pastoral application of that incisiveness into print so that we might all benefit from his preaching through Psalm 119. “Harrison Perkins(Pastor, Oakland Hills Community Church (OPC), Farmington Hills, Michigan; author, 'Righteous by Design: Covenantal Merit and Adam's Original Integrity')”This volume serves as a living testimony to the power of God’s Word, demonstrating how it sustains and strengthens Christians who, like exiles, live in a world captive to sin and swept away by waves of iniquity. “Changwon Shu(Professor, Chongshin Theological Seminary, Seoul, South Korea)”Psalm 119 is packed with timeless truths that for millennia have enlightened the paths of many pilgrims. VanDrunen explains these truths afresh with exegetical precision and practical application.“Brian A. DeVries(Principal, Mukhanyo Theological College, Pretoria, South Africa)”Among all the chapters of Scripture, none emphasizes the Word of God more frequently or intensely than Psalm 119, and it is fitting that a servant of the Word such as VanDrunen should write on this psalm.“Joonbum Kim(Senior Pastor, Yanguimoon Presbyterian Church, Seoul, South Korea)”Psalm 119 is a majestic Psalm that calls the reader to meditate on God’s Word and delight in it, which makes Dave VanDrunen’s book a fitting response. He serves as a careful, honest, and clear guide to exploring the richness of the Psalm and what obedience to it means for the Christian. “Chase R. Kuhn(Rector, St Matthias Centennial Park, Sydney, Australia)
