My heart is astir with a pleasant theme. I address my verses to the King. My tongue is the pen of a ready scribe. —Psalm 45:1
In the forty-fifth psalm, the psalmist, overflowing with praise at the sight of the King of kings, Jesus Christ the Savior, pours out his most fervent worship in a “song of loves”. Psalm 45 Publications exists as an exercise in the same vein. The works published are functionally and stylistically diverse, but they have all arisen as an overflow of love that has been stirred up by the sight of King Jesus our God, whose throne is forever and ever, and whose scepter is a scepter of righteousness.
Nearly all of the writings you may find on this page are also available to be purchased in book form, or freely downloaded as electronic books, at my storefront. The purpose of Psalm 45 Publications is to disseminate Christ-centered and gospel-saturated literature as freely and widely as possible, so please make free use of anything you find helpful; and if you would benefit from having a physical copy of any book, but cannot afford to purchase one, e-mail me via the link provided under the tab on the sidebar titled “Site Information,” and we'll work something out.
Solus Christus
