Opis

The Psalms of David, as written in the Holy Bible, have been fascinating to Yaqob Tafari Makuannen since he was a young boy. In this book, The Holy Psalms of David with Commentary by Yaqob Tafari Makuannen, Yaqob has the honor of presenting the Psalms to the world with his interpretation. Historically, the Psalms were a collection of songs sung to King Saul of Israel, who was overwhelmed by evil spirits. When no one could help the King, neither physicians nor others, David, the shepherd boy, was brought to the King's side where he played the harp and sang for him. The evil spirits left King Saul, and the King was well again. Most of the Psalms were written by David and were a direct communication to God. Some were words of praise, adoration, and worship. Some were pleas to God for help in troubled times. The continuing thread, however, is the fact that God is the Creator, who will never leave nor forsake those who are righteous in their thinking -- like David. Although the Psalms of David were written in ancient times, the content reflects life today. Yaqob Tafari Makuannen makes that connection through his commentary. Some of his comments are explanatory; some are reflective; some are just plain common sense. Enjoy them. Like David, Yaqob is a singer of songs, and a composer -- a musician. Yaqob plays the harp, auto-zither, guitar, and piano. He believes that music, especially with string instruments, can soothe, heal, and relax one's spirit. His music is inspirational. In conjunction with this book, Yaqob, a.k.a., Ya Tafari, has compiled a CD with his original music and vocals, to accompany these Psalms: 1, 3, 4, 14, 22, 23, 41, 68, 103, 116, 119, 141, and 150. It is entitled The Psalms of David by Ya Tafari. For a copy, please call 313-348-6279. Thank you. Be blessed.
