Songs of the Soul

Encountering God in the Psalms

Songs of the Soul: Encountering God in the Psalms is a devotional journey through Scripture’s most beloved prayerbook. In these pages, author and pastor Geoffrey Schmitt invites readers to rediscover the Psalms not just as ancient poetry, but as living prayers for every season of life.

Whether you are praising, grieving, questioning, or rejoicing, the Psalms give you language for the soul. This book explores different types of Psalms — praise, lament, thanksgiving, wisdom, trust, penitence, and more — through thoughtful teaching, meditations, personal stories, and practical tools for reflection and prayer.

Drawing from decades of pastoral experience, real-life struggle, and deep love for Scripture, Geoffrey Schmitt weaves ancient wisdom with personal testimony, showing how the Psalms continue to speak with power and beauty today.

Each chapter ends with questions for reflection and a heartfelt prayer, making this book perfect for personal devotion, small groups, or spiritual retreats.

Whether you’ve read the Psalms for years or are just beginning, Songs of the Soul will lead you deeper into God’s presence — and help you find your own voice in the great, ongoing song of faith.
