What’s inside

  • 21 days through the imprecatory psalms, the prayers where the psalm writers stop being polite and tell God exactly what hurt.
  • Toy’s own story.
  • What psychology says about what you’re carrying.
  • A three-week small-group guide, so you don’t have to do this alone.

Who it’s for

For anyone who learned to say “I’m fine” in the church parking lot while something in them was not fine. Maybe somebody hurt you and you were told to just forgive and move on. Maybe you’re grieving and nobody made room for it. Maybe you’re angry at God and scared to say so. The Psalms already made room. This book walks you into it.

Why these psalms

The imprecatory psalms ask God to bring justice on people who did harm. They are uncomfortable on purpose. They show that you can bring the ugliest true thing to God and still be a person of faith. If you want the background first, start with What Are the Imprecatory Psalms? and Bible Verses About Anger.
