In More Precious Than Gold, Sam Storms combines years of life experience and his biblical and theological training to bring readers 50 brief, daily meditations that are both stylistically accessible and theologically substantive. Each meditation includes a historical or theological reflection on the psalm in context, a story that brings it alive, and creative tools to support the key idea. Storms also interweaves the words of such luminaries as Charles Spurgeon, Jonathan Edwards, and John Piper to help readers better understand the concepts that are featured throughout Psalms: worship, prayer, joy, forgiveness, steadfast love, mercy, sin's consequences, the law of the Lord, and our relationship with our enemies.

Like the Psalter, Storms doesn't shy away from the tough issues. Instead, he encourages readers to experience through these daily meditations what he and generations of Christians have found to be true: that the whole of the Christian faith is about lifting God higher and magnifying his name-even during difficult times.

"The book of Psalms is green pastures and still waters for real people in hard time. More Precious Than God provides what no money can buy--direct personal access to the refreshment God gives only through His Word." -Ray Ortlund, Pastor, Immanuel Church, Nashville, Tennessee

"Sam Storms lays the pieces of our contemporary world down on the template of the Psalms, and the result is what it has always been: the power of the Psalms to illumine, interpret, and direct our lives in the ways of the Lord. This book is a particularly insightful exposure of that power." -C. Hassell Bullock, Franklin S. Dyrness Professor of Bible Studies, Wheaton College
