Deeper Places
The Spirituality of the Psalms

What will you find when you allow yourself to go deeper?You’re not satisfied with the dry ground of religious intellectualism. You’re not satisfied with just dipping your toes into a shallow spirituality. You want to know the heart of God more intimately. You want to encounter God in the deep places.In Deeper Places, pastor and musician Matthew Jacoby shares a rich portrait of authentic spirituality that will help you dive deep beneath the surface to experience the kind of profound joy that the psalmists sang about. For over fifteen years, Jacoby has been studying the Psalms and setting them to music as they were intended. Now he gives you an in-depth look at the Psalms as a pathway to an intimate and satisfying relationship with God.“Few have understood the Psalms as well as Matthew Jacoby. He has sung them, taught them, and lived them for as long as he can remember. As such, he is a worthy guide for those seeking the more authentic, biblical, and earthy faith found in them.”- Alan Hirsch, author, The Faith of Leap, Untamed, and Right Here, Right Now.“Deeper Places is about knowing God, not knowing about God. Jacoby’s insights made me want to do something I’d not done for years: to make reading the Psalms a daily part of my life with God.”- Gary W. Moon, director of the Dallas Willard Center at Westmont College; author, Apprenticeship with Jesus.“This collection of thoughtful reflections on the Psalms is beautifully written and heartfelt. This is a book to be savored.”- Ruth Haley Barton, founder, Transforming Center; author, Invitation to Solitude and Silence.“Matthew Jacoby is a musician, a theologian, and a pastor-a unique blending of calling and gifting that makes him ideally equipped to explore the ancient Hebrew songbook.”- Stuart Briscoe, author, broadcaster, international speaker.
