Picture
The Book of Psalms, the Bible’s ancient hymnal, has a lot to teach us about offering praise to the Almighty in spirit and truth, worshiping in the midst of suffering, celebrating the richness and rightness of God’s Word, and offering thanks whatever our situation. It also speaks to a songwriter’s heart about how to use your gifts skillfully and deal with the inevitable disappointments of the writer’s life. Combining more than 30 years of professional songwriting experience with a passion for God’s Word and a heart for teaching, songwriter Sue C. Smith mines 41 lessons taken from Psalms 1-41 to help both the beginning songwriter and those who have traveled the path for many years

REVIEWS

This book is a priceless treasure. The wealth of experience and spiritual perspective here from one of Christian music's most prolific songwriters is like gold.
Mike Harland, Director, LifeWay Worship Resources

Sue Smith has contributed a much-needed collection of principles and insights for the process of songwriting. Using the Psalms as signposts on this journey, Sue has drawn from David, the greatest songwriter of all time, to help present day songwriters find the joy and the discipline of singing our hearts out to God.
Gloria Gaither, 
songwriter, author, speaker

Sue C. Smith has been the most prolific and impactful writer to our company and the thousands of churches we serve. This new book is as beneficial as thousands of hours of conference training, but it is all in one brilliant resource. 
Johnathan Crumpton, Sr. Vice President, 
Brentwood-Benson Publications

These pages convey the soul of a writer, the wisdom of a teacher and the heart of a seeker. More than a reflection of past successes, she offers the reader a rare glimpse into the pursuit of a call.
