We’re excited to announce the latest entry in our beloved Gospel Meditations series focused on the Psalms.
The Psalms have been precious to God’s people for 3500 years. They teach us how to think and how to feel. John Calvin called the Psalms “an anatomy of all the parts of the soul.”
Part of the power of the Psalter is its raw honesty. It is filled with excruciating pain and confusion, but also with exuberant joy and celebration.
In this 31-day devotional, authors Chris Anderson, Abby Huffstutler, and Joe Tyrpak present short studies of thirty psalms, exploring their connection to the gospel and their direct application to our everyday experiences—our ups and downs, our highs and lows.
Our prayer is that these readings would resonate with you and point you to Jesus Christ! Grace!

“Gospel Meditations on the Psalms provides a healthy blend of biblical accuracy, relatable application, and gospel focus. Each of the psalm summaries will enrich deeper learning and encourage devotional living. The reader will discover the powerful simplicity of letting the gospel do its work. The devotional summaries challenged me to consider, apply, and live out the gospel principles they so poignantly explained!”

“In this devotional, Chris Anderson, Abby Huffstutler, and Joe Tyrpak function as tour guides to the Psalms. They orient us to the world of the Psalms, they share with us some of their special sites, and they inspire us to travel more extensively in this sublime portion of God’s Word. Reading through these meditations will bless your soul and will encourage you to return often to the Psalms for spiritual nourishment.”
—Dan Estes, PhD, former pastor of Linwood Baptist Church, Worthington, Ohio, Distinguished Professor of Old Testament at Cedarville University, and author of Handbook on the Wisdom Books and Psalms
“The Psalms are a mirror of the human heart. They run the gamut from doubt, fear, and anger to love, joy, and hope. But they not only reveal our emotional ups and downs—they also reveal the heart of God to us in Jesus. In these Gospel Meditations on the Psalms, the authors faithfully unpack the text and point us to Christ as our hope and joy. Grab your Bible, and be prepared for some nourishing spiritual food.”
—Rhett Dodson, PhD, pastor of Grace Presbyterian Church, Hudson, Ohio, and author of Marching to Zion: Ancient Psalms for Modern Pilgrims
“How can I find the gospel in the Psalms? Too often, we reduce the gospel to refer only to the part that saves us. But the gospel is the whole of Jesus’ life and ministry, and so, understood in that sense, the Psalms are a great place to find meditations on the gospel. Joe, Abby, and Chris have done an excellent job bathing our thoughts in the blessed waters of the Psalms. Each devotional is another scrub on our hearts with the brush of God’s grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.”
—Matt Walker, pastor of College Park Baptist Church, Cary, North Carolina
“Devotionals that lead me deeper into the Scriptures, into reflection in my highs and lows—in my times of exhilaration and times of dryness—are something I now go to every day and value more with each passing year of my life. This devotional—as it encourages us to read a psalm a day for one month, and draws us into each psalm before God—is unique and powerful, excellently written and full of insight, encouragement, and salve for our souls.”
—David Ayers, PhD, professor of sociology at Grove City College and author of several books including Christian Marriage: A Comprehensive Introduction and After the Revolution: Sex and the Single Evangelical
