Shout for Joy and Sing! is the second book in Morehouse Publishing's popular series, Psalms for Children, which makes the Psalms more accessible to preschoolers and early readers. The Psalms, as they appear in most translations of the Bible, contain abstract concepts and words that are too advanced for young readers. Here, Christopher Webber, author the The New Metrical Psalter, paraphrases Psalm 65 while keeping it true to the original text and meaning, so children can share the same delight in God's presence that spurred the writing of this Psalm centuries ago. Christopher L. Webber is an Episcopal priest and popular author whose many books from Morehouse Publishing include Welcome to the Episcopal Church, Welcome to Sunday, and Praise the Lord, My Soul: Psalm 104 for Children. He lives in Sharon, Connecticut. Preston McDaniels is a popular children's book illustrator. His books for Morehouse include God of the Sparrow, Now the Day is Over, All Things Bright and Beautiful, Earth and All Stars, and Praise the Lord, My Soul: Psalm 104 for Children. He lives in Aurora, Nebraska.
