Is it necessary to gild the lily?

In some instances, yes. Psalm 23 is so beautifully written that its metaphors have to be thoroughly explored to capture its full impact. This is precisely what you can expect from this book. From Exile to Home explains the meaning of each symbol in a clear and simple manner that readers can understand. Illustrations are added in some passages to enhance the reading process. From Judea to Babylon and back, readers take part in the front seat of the psalmist's adventure as he journeys from exile to home.
