Show Notes:36. Heath Adamson — Writing with David and the Psalms

Heath joins me to talk about his new book, Grace in the Valley: Awakening to God’s Presence When He Feels Far Away. The book takes a contemplative and personal look at David’s most famous Psalm, Psalm 23.

We discuss how the Psalms have impacted Heath’s life as a believer and as a writer. What does it look like to spend years reflecting on a single passage of scripture and how can David and the Psalms shape us as writers.

Heath offers advice to writers about voice, discipline, and the value of reading.
