Ancient Jewish Wisdom for the Modern Soul

The book of Psalms has been a source of spiritual illumination and encouragement for generations, because the Psalms are words of life to all who find them. These ancient Jewish poems speak of healing and deliverance, prayer and praise, lament and hope. They help us experience the fullness of joy in God's presence and recover our equilibrium in a world where so much knocks us off balance and steals our shalom.

Now you can experience the beauty, majesty, and life-transforming power of the Psalms from a Jewish perspective. This devotional and the Tree of Life Version of the Bible flow from the heart of today's Messianic Jewish movement to offer the Jewish essence of the Psalms in a way that promises shalom for the modern heart and soul.

Endorsements for the Tree of Life Version

"The Tree of Life Version is a miracle in motion."--Jack Hayford

"The TLV is the fulfillment of a long-awaited dream to have a complete translation by biblical scholars sensitive to the Hebraic character of both Testaments. The church has known since its earliest days that it has a spiritual indebtedness to the Jewish people (Rom. 15:27), since everything it holds dear came through Jewish hands. Unfortunately, this vital knowledge of the Jewish roots of Christianity is sorely lacking in the modern church. Fortunately, the TLV is now here to restore what has been lost at a time in history when it is needed most."--Randall Price, PhD, distinguished research professor; executive director of Center for Judaic Studies, Liberty University

"This Bible is the collective work of this renewed Messianic Jewish community and the first and only of its kind. Translated directly from the original Greek and Hebrew texts and vetted by some of our best and brightest Messianic theologians and scholars, the translation is true to its original Hebraic roots and idiom. More than a historically important work, it represents the fulfillment of this prophetic, last days' restoration and the re-establishment of the Jewish Remnant to their unique and important leadership role in the body of the Messiah."--Jonathan Bernis, Jewish Voice Ministries International


"I wholeheartedly endorse the TLV version and encourage everyone to read it."--Wayne Wilks Jr., PhD, executive pastor of Jewish Ministries, Gateway Church; president, Messianic Jewish Bible Institute

"I am so excited about this innovative new translation of the Bible. The Tree of Life Version is unlike any other Bible you've ever read. This Bible focuses on the Jewish roots that are so foundational to our Christian faith. With its relatable Hebrew language and authentic cultural context, you'll gain a new appreciation for how the Bible was originally meant to be read and understood."--Robert Morris, founding senior pastor, Gateway Church; bestselling author of The Blessed Life, From Dream to Destiny, and Truly Free
