Life is gritty but God is faithful
By Mathew Sims
I love the Psalms. They serve as a reminder that life is gritty and God is faithful. Matthew explores the Psalms thematically in search of a better understanding of God. In the first sentence, Matthew writes, “‘I feel nothing.’ That is how many Christians would honestly respond when asked how they really feel about God” (p. 7) and goes onto to stress that we cannot love an abstract idea about God rather we can only love him when we know him relationally (pp. 8-9). That’s the thrust of Deeper Places knowing God.
Matthew also pinpoints an aspect of the Psalms that must be re-discovered in our own day, in our own churches. “[T]he spirituality they portrayed is so countercultural to the spiritual environment” of today’s church (p. 12). He goes onto elaborate,
The psalms belong to a corporate spiritual context in which the acts of God in the lives of people were celebrated and commemorated annually. . . . The psalms were seen as something akin to tracks in the jungle cut by those who had gone before. We are not left to work out the way for ourselves. The path has been trodden down, and we are invited to walk in this path and continue where the psalm writers left off. (p 13).
and “What we need is not a heavenly spirituality but an earthly spirituality that captures the present tension between what we have already and what remains unfulfilled” (p. 15 contrast between “how we think we should feel” rather than “what we actually do feel” p. 26). He ends the introduction by posting them as a journey from “saddest and harshest realities of life . . . . into the embrace of God” (p. 15). I’ve always thought of the Psalms partially as an ascent to God but more as an a descent of God down to us. So many of the Psalms are Messianic. Rather than finding God in the Psalms, I’ve always felt God found me in Christ through the Psalms.
The rest of Deeper Places explores these theme as their woven through out the Psalms. One of my only question marks while reading was in chapter 3 “The Pursuit of Sadness.” He starts with “God is sad” (p. 39). He goes on to explain, “Sadness is the unfulfilled capacity for joy. God is in anguish over his children because they are his highest joy” (p. 39, 40). Scripture does speak of God being grieved. Jesus is fully human. He experienced the full range of human emotions. No arguments there. It’s the second statement--that God is somehow unfulfilled by us. If God lacks than does he not lack a perfection? I’d love to pick Matthew’s brain and maybe tease out what he means.
I enjoyed reading Deeper Places. I did find myself experiencing God more as I finished reading and as I meditated on the Psalms. Win for Matthew Jacoby. I want to close with a lengthy quotation,
We are prone to react to personal misfortune with the cry, “Why me?” But when this question arises within us, we must hear the implied answer of the rest of humanity: “Why not you?” The question is not, “Why should I suffer?” but rather, “Why should I be exempt from the suffering that is common to all humankind?” (p. 54)

Must read
By Unknown
While this book takes a lot of concentration to understand its full meaning it is a great and powerful book. I think it should be read by all believers in Christ. It helps explain the meaning of some of the great psalms. This book would make for some good sermons from pastors. It is worth tackling even if you have to reread parts of it over again. It is deep and look up the words you do not understand so you will get a better understanding.

A very important read for anyone who walks with God
By Dr. Marty
In a concise way Dr. Jacoby managed to well define the need and simplicity of developing a real-life relationship with God that is based in love and not fear! So few people understand the nature of God and the reason he made all of this! He's seeking children and a real relationship as a loving Father. I have thought about this relationship the same as Dr. Jacoby described in the book for years but it was always disjointed. This book brought it all together in a well thought through and organized manner that ultimately brought significant clarity for me! I know that unlike other books I've read, I will be rereading sections of Deeper Places often to remind myself of these salient points.
In this book the reader learns that their desires are out of alignment which results in significant problems in life. But when they are realigned with God's desires and a desire for God, even the difficult aspects of life have meaning. Dr. Jacoby shows how sadness in life and low points are actually the means through which we can truly connect with God and experience the joy that only comes from Him. He defines in his book what true happiness is and how we can have this even when life doesn't seem like it's going the way we want it to. There's a difference between happiness and joy that's not dependent upon our circumstances.
The title couldn't be more appropriate. The book is deep, but it's not just philosophy it's truly understanding the depths of our relationship with our creator and how great it can be. Don't pass the opportunity to read this book.
And if you haven't heard Dr. Jacoby's music...you're missing out on the most inspiring and musically powerful music you can hear as a Christian. Nothing is like the Psalms heard as they were intended...set to gorgeous music that fits the theme and message of the psalm. He and his band the Sons of Korah are truly blessed and a blessing to all of us. I don't know what I would do without their music in my life.
