The Bible calls us to turn our eyes to Christ, allowing his presence to transform our lives.

“This accessible Bible study centers a group to marinate in the beauty and richness of the Psalms. The content invites participants to look up to God’s presence and power and then look out as they study, share insights, and sing his goodness in the context of community.”
Karen Hodge, Coordinator of Women’s Ministries, Presbyterian Church in America; coauthor, Transformed: Life-Taker to Life-Giver and Life-Giving Leadership
“The Bible’s songbook can feel intimidating to study with its imagery and poetic devices, but if we skip the Psalms, we miss so much about God’s good character. What I love about Turn Your Eyes is that Winfree and Sharonda guide you through a study of the Psalms by teaching you how to study these songs. You’ll learn how to observe, interpret, and apply the Psalms as you work through this study, and you’ll be equipped to gaze on God’s goodness every time you open your Bible.”
Glenna Marshall, author, The Promise Is His Presence; Everyday Faithfulness; and Memorizing Scripture
“Turn Your Eyes is a theologically rich study that empowers readers to engage the Psalms with clarity and confidence. By unpacking the context, structure, and literary style of each type of psalm, it equips readers with the essential tools they need to uncover the timeless wisdom hidden within these sacred songs. Whether you’re new to Bible study or seeking to go deeper, this resource will help you connect with the Psalms in a way that is both inspiring and spiritually transformative.”
Elizabeth Woodson, Bible teacher; author, Live Free; From Beginning to Forever; and Embrace Your Life
“There’s a reason God’s people run to the Psalms in distress. In these songs, we find language for the many things we experience in life. But studying them can be a challenge because they don’t follow a linear pattern. In Turn Your Eyes, Winfree Brisley and Sharonda Cooper give a framework for studying the Psalms thematically and practically. I’ve long wanted a study on the Psalms to give to friends. This is it! If you want to read the Psalms with fresh eyes, this study is for you—and your friends.”
Courtney Reissig, author, Teach Me to Feel: Worshiping through the Psalms in Every Season of Life
