Briefly Psalms by Robb Hasencamp is a handy book that contains different Bible verses from the book of Psalms for different situations. The version I read consists of only eighty-one pages. It is short and easy to read, and it will be really helpful for people who quickly want to read or refer to certain portions of the book of Psalms which relate to the topics covered in this book. The topics covered in this book range from affliction, seeking protection, healing, deliverance, making complaints, asking for special care, hope, etc.

It is a book that makes it easy for readers to quickly identify the Psalms which relate to their situation. The author used this book to bring to the forefront verses he felt would help in uplifting people going through trying times while saving them the stress of looking for an uplifting verse in their moment of confusion and pain.

This book is well written. I enjoyed the author's notes and explanations at the beginning of each chapter. I also like how the Psalms were carefully arranged as they flowed smoothly and complemented each other beautifully. The book is adequately spaced, and I like the format used because it made the book look appealing and enhanced my reading experience.

I also enjoyed the Psalms the author selected because they were very effective and aligned with the title of each chapter. This shows that the author took his time to diligently gather and arrange each verse. The verses are also very versatile and can be used for other situations not limited to the ones they were classified under. I also like that the verses selected can easily be used as a form of prayer and encouragement.

I don't know which version of the Bible he used, but I enjoyed the straightforward English and found it easy to understand. I would have liked to know which version he used, as this would have helped me in carrying out my research. However, this is a minor issue that can easily be overlooked. I believe this book was professionally edited because I didn’t see any error in it. Due to the reasons stated above, I give this well-written book a rating of 4 out of 4 stars.

This book is geared towards Christians. I believe this because the Christian doctrine of salvation is discussed at the beginning of the book. Also, it is based on the biblical book of Psalms and uses numerous verses from the book of Psalms, which deal with things like placing full reliance and trust in God, crying to God for help, mercy, and deliverance. I enjoyed this book and found it to be really useful. This book will be good for people who are going through challenges and need Bible verses to encourage them. It will also be handy in helping Christians to memorize portions of scripture.

I'm not sure if I should read this book or not because I don't know much about the bible or Christianity. However, I'm sure it will be a treat for Christians. Good job with the review, thanks!

This is not the genre I usually go towards, but your review made the book sound pretty intersting.

I believe that the entire Bible works together. There are certainly some very uplifting Psalms, though. This book seems to be written to help people get through the hard times. Thanks for the review!

In reference to the Bible, the content sidelines non-christian who wish to benefit from the topics discussed. However, the content is helpful.

Psalm is one of the most common and purpolar book of the bible because it was written by David during his encounter with God on earth. Thank for this awesome review
