The Lord Saves Me
In The Lord Saves Me, Iain M. Duguid offers 40 Christ-centered family devotions drawn from the Psalms.
Read and Relate
The book opens with helpful guidance on how to read the Psalms, reminding readers that David was not only a king but also a worshiper—and that Jesus Christ Himself enters into and fulfills these same songs. Duguid also includes a short section on key people and places.
What makes this book stand out is its clear focus on families. The devotions are intentionally written so children can grasp the heart of each psalm. Duguid provides his own translation which I found engaging and easy to follow, and he writes as if speaking directly to kids, which is very helpful for parents leading family devotions.
Feelings and Families
Duguid also does a great job making the Psalms relatable for children by connecting them to everyday experiences—school, friendships, and family life. There’s a sensitivity to the emotions children feel, and he helps them see how our feelings are expressed in the Psalms and brought before God.
The Lord Saves Me is a thoughtful and accessible resource for families who want to grow together in understanding the Psalms and seeing how they point to Christ.
