World Turned Upside Down is a thematic exploration of the Psalms, inviting the reader to bring their own life experiences into a journey through pain with God at our side.
There are no simple answers to life’s challenges, so how do we integrate our most testing experiences into our faith in a way which strengthens rather than weakens it?

When we are at our weakest, when we feel we most need God and yet have no idea how to talk to him, it is the Psalms which leap to our rescue. With the psalmists as our guides, we learn to draw closer to God, to hear his voice in fresh ways, and to identify what it is that troubles us. Borrowing their words, we find that we are able to articulate our most painful feelings and walk through suffering with honesty, hope, and confidence in the God who travels beside us. Here is an opportunity to read the Psalms differently: an invitation to embark on a new journey.
