Layers

About the Book

Layers is a collection of Psalms and Scriptures organized by daily life themes that inspire us and help us realize our desires though prayer.

In Layers, similar scriptures have been grouped and classified by main subjects areas such as forgiveness, thanks, grief, as well as other matters that we deal with in day to day life. These themes have been further categorized by the Bible's messages that inspire more purpose-driven and fulfilled living.

Layers highlights the different messages that are embedded in the Psalms; collects the most wonderful stories of the Old Testament; comprises a series of fundamental passages from the New Testament; and introduces the parables told by our Lord Jesus.
