A drawing of my dream

The vision of the Sacred Roots Project is to make Christian spiritual classics available and accessible to everybody. If you are hungry for more knowledge of God and thirsty for mentoring from faithful and fruitful Christians, then we have you in mind. After all, the Psalms are for the whole church, but especially for those afflicted—for those resilient men and women for whom every day presents a new challenge. The Psalms have been the mainstay of the Church’s worship for thousands of years, but our generation has nearly lost them. We lack the habit of praying the Psalms, either individually or together. It is from the ancient Church that we need to recover the practice of praying the Psalms. That is why the man in my dream was reaching into the church. He was recovering the fruit of faithful Christian worship in order to make it available for us today.
