Reflections on the Psalms - Bramwell Jp Tout

. .

Résumé :
Reflections on the Psalms is one mans response to each of the 150 Psalms contained in the Old Testament. Applying each of the psalms to current and everyday situations, this collection of poems has been written to be read either on its own, or even better with the Psalm on which each poem is based. Using experiences from working with the homeless, with addictions and with mental health issues, as well as drawing from everyday life situations, the poems also respond to questions and issues often raised in the media. They describe responses to situations, cries for help and shouts for joy. The collection can be a good basis for personal use and also group situations. As the title suggests, most is gained by reflecting on the poem and or the psalm. Who is the book written for? Anyone who has a question about life today, anyone who has faith, or anyone who loves the written word.

As a Christian his motivation has always been to help others see potential in themselves. Bramwell has drawn on his experiences from his work and personal life in writing this collection of his poems.

In April 2017 he suffered a stroke while on a day visit to London and was rushed to hospital. Personal and Face Book friends prayed for his recovery and 3 days after his stroke he was walking out of hospital unaided.

A keen musician Bramwell was disappointed to be told not to continue playing in brass bands for health reasons. Listening to music is still a pleasure and something he does while writing. Some of the poems in this collection can be sung as songs, their writing having been influenced by music Bramwell was listening to at the time. Having completed this work, Bramwell is now engaged in writing further collections of poems based on the Books of Esther, Ruth and Proverbs. He is also writing a Rubaiyat based on the Nativity....
