An Anchor for the Soul Beholding the cross and resurrection

Let Psalm 22 refresh your faith and sharpen your view of the cross

However fervent our first love for the Lord, we are all prone to drift. Our hearts can grow cold and our faith become a mere formality before we’ve even realised.

Thankfully there’s an answer, and it’s the same regardless of our feelings or situation: we need to stare long and hard at the profundity of Christ’s love poured out for us on the cross.

But it’s often helpful to have a guide come alongside us, and that’s exactly what Paul Mallard does in his exploration of how Jesus fulfils Psalm 22. He reminds us that our joy in Christ comes not from performance but from proximity. This is the anchor our souls need to provide stability in the raging tempests of life.

Selected commendations:

“Christ-exalting; heart-warming; soul-nourishing; perspective-giving; praise-provoking. This walk-through Psalm 22 affirms the fact that the cross and resurrection of our Lord Jesus truly are the anchor for our souls...”

"This is a remarkably profound book. Concise, clear, and compelling, author Paul Mallard takes us back to the glories of Calvary and the hope of the resurrection... I could not put the book down and as I raced to the finish, I was filled with joy, which Mallard reminds us comes not from performance but from proximity."
