This book, the initial volume in a small collection of re-mixed psalms, showcases the first forty-one psalms. It aims to engage them in their ancient Hebrew language and context, transforming them into vibrant, contemporary English spoken word. While doing so, it maintains a deep respect for the original, honoring its roots while giving it a fresh twist for a new generation. Each remix follows the original verse by verse, ensuring that every emotion and piece of wisdom remains. Yet, the transformation isn't just in the words. Every remixed psalm gets a new title that reflects its modern makeover. each psalm is also paired with a powerful photo to highlight and deepen its message, a move which really gives this volume a nice magazine feel. These photos, like the spoken word, invite each reader to stop, think, feel, and connect with God through the psalm. As an added bonus, the audio/video for each psalm can be obtained for free on the ProveText podcast.

Once students have worked with GlossaHouse Tier 1 resources, this fun and simple picture book is a great way for them to level up. Learners will encounter 50 words (some new, some familiar) in Koine Greek that, together, give an overview of Scripture's story. Each page contains an Ancient Greek term, a corresponding image, and a descriptive sentence. There is also a short glossary at the end of the book with English glosses, Scripture references, and a fairly literal translation of the Greek sentences. Even more, audio files, which allow for hearing the words and sentences pronounced out loud, are also available at GlossaHouse.com.
