This book is about comfort. Davis is concerned that we know who God is. He is the one who is with His people. God is one of glory, weighty glory. He deserves to be praised, yet He is mindful even of us. We are nothing but dust, but He delights to know us and take care of us. He is protecting, sufficient, restoring, and accessible (p. 42). Yahweh is not bland, He is alive!

**The Chocolate Milk

+ This is essentially a devotional-styled commentary. Davis is easy to read, he looks at the big picture of the psalm taking a few verses at a time without going into too much detail, and he usually looks back to the previous psalm for the connection to see how the psalms are connected.

+ You have to know God to know how to pray. How do you know what to pray for? On what basis are your prayers if you don't know who you're praying too?

+ Davis stays God-focused (theo-centric). When the enemy loses his footing in Psalm 7 and falls into the pit he has set, who's doing is it? Well, it is God's. He is the main storyteller, and one day He will make all things right according to His time.

**The Spoiled Milk

- I'm amazed at the amount of stories Davis has. But, if nothing else, I have two main issues with them:

1. Sometimes examples makes sense, but they don't hit home. I don't always see the connection between the psalm and Davis' example.

2. Sometimes there are just too many stories. They're never more than a paragraph long (if that), but after a while I'm tired of seeing his stories. Some of them are great! Others, as mentioned above, I just don't see the point.

Yet, I know that this is more of a devotional book, rather than word study commentary. But still, there are a  lot of stories. Sometimes they're good. Sometimes they're not.

**Recommended?

Overall, this is a great book. I enjoy all of Davis' writings. He always has good application that's taken from the text. It's never some far-reaching, ethereal idea. It's straight from the text. I can see it. Plus, he's pretty funny (especially in his other commentaries).

Indeed, this book doesn't cover very many psalms, but it comes in very handy when reading the first twelve.

This book speaks for people with chronic sickness and pain, especially the conditions the author has. It is affirming. It helps other people understand.

A great, easy reading book that will bring comfort to anyone dealing with a loss or help on how to help someone else deal with this. I highly recommend the reading of this book by all adults, regardless of their belief or connection with God.

There is nothing more comforting than being able to laugh with friends over similar insecurities. The realization that we are not alone in our endless escapades to connect as friends is irreplaceable comfort to the soul. This book reads quick, because it is so relatable. Like walking into a room full of friends, I felt like the conversation just picked right up where I left off each time I dove in to read. I took notes, wrote friends names in the margins, and made a list of women who will be getting a nice, rectangular shaped read for their birthdays this year.
My best friend must feel like she's read it, because I talked her ear off about it the whole way through! Thank you for your faithfulness and your voice, Dawn...and gathering the voices you did you speak into my heart through these pages.
I can't wait for the next one!
Happy Writing!

I feel like this family is a part of my family life. I enjoy the love they have and how they protect each other regardless. And their friends are an extension of the family. So heartwarming especially considering the state of the world today. This family is my escape!!

This cushion is very comfortable.  Also an extra benefit is the company planting trees in Africa to help the people earn a living.  What a wonderful thing they are doing - just because I purchased this cushion which I desperately needed.

After the death of my son, this is the first thing to bring me some sense of comfort.  Knowing that he is alive and well in a spiritual body and with other loved ones who have already "shed their cocoon" keeps me going. I know that he will be the one I am looking for when I die.  If you have had a recent loss this book might comfort you too.

This book is like a gentle massage on the heart and soul of someone who has lost a loved one.  There is so much comfort in George Anderson's written words.  I have given this book to family, friends - even strangers - and it's given them such peace and comfort.  I gave this book to a girlfriend whose mother was dying of cancer and the mother asked to read it.  She loved it and when it came her time to pass over, she had a smile on her face.  Because of the book, she had no fear of death.  This book is an absolute must for anyone who is grieving.  And the sooner they read it, the better.

I feel like this book was written just for me! A friend gave this to me while I was going through a difficult trial. It inspired me to keep moving forward with faith in my life. A treasure fot anyone needing comfort and reassurance that they can make it through anything, even the hard stops in their lives.

An instructor introduced me to this book after my mom passed away. I am now a Hospice RN and share this with the families I work with. It gave me comfort in my time of need.

So beautiful and comfortable. Feeling ooh la, la! My man says ooh la, la too! I am not a plus size but I was still able to buy get this in a women's medium. Perfect.
Whatever size you are, just try one. At least on time in your life! Everyone deserves a little luxury.

When a friend or loved one is stressed and unhappy, we often do not know what to do to help. He/ She is not looking for advice; just looking for a little peace of mind in whatever storm life throws at us. Giving the gift of Calm is a great way to support a friend and help him/her find a way through. I know when I am troubled, I find the helpful words and simple techniques a balm to my spirit. I give this book to show that I care; and know it will help anyone who reads it find some quiet and clarity.

I gave these tapes as gifts to my family.  We recently had a family graduate to the "other side" and these tapes were a source of comfort. I would recommend them to anyone in need of comfort because of the death of a loved one.
