Alex does a great job drawing out what the Psalm is saying and laying it out in a well written and organized guide.The book is written for teenagers, however, I believe adults can benefit from it as well -- I did. I really liked that Alex didn't change any of the big "Christian" words (transcendent, sovereign, revelation) to dumb it down for teenagers. I believe it's important to teach our children what these words mean rather than shirk out and act like they are "weird" words, just because they are big and/or they don't understand them. That really puts a negative attitude on learning anything new or different from what they already know. The author uses them and defines them well enough to be understood.He talks about worship in it's true form: the fall-on-your-face, don't-look-up-or-you-might-be-blinded-with-glory kind of worshipWorship means to prostrate and in this modern age it's not practiced enough, nor is it encouraged in many churches today. Our children should know what worship in it's true form is - it's not about us and what makes us comfortable. Worship is often humbling and that means discomfort in lowering ourselves so that God can be raised up - not just figuratively, but literally. I like how Alex draws this out for the reader, and isn't afraid to tell teenagers the Truth, for fear it will "cramp his style" or not be "relevant".I really like how he communicates God's Law as the Bible has written about it. He expresses how God's law is for our well-being rather than saying it was "old testament ritual and not applied to today".
