Title : Psalms: Lessons in Values, Leadership, and Character for
Today
Author Name : Hershey Friedman, James A. Lynch
Synopsis :
There is a growing belief that education – kindergarten
through twelfth grades (K-12) as well as higher education – has to focus on
teaching students values, intellectual virtues, and character education. These
values include integrity, conscientiousness, curiosity, determination,
resilience, and self-confidence. The authors demonstrate how Psalms with its
inspiring and rousing hymns can be used to teach important values to
people. These values include perseverance, faith, concern for others, and
the power of hope. Even leaders should read Psalms for inspiration and as
a way to understand the importance of moral leadership. This paper
examinesseveral of the most powerful statements in Psalms and demonstrates how
they provide guidance and inspiration.
