Psalms of Ascents: Journey to Joy
A 10-Week Study for Women on the Psalms of Ascents
Perched on a hill, Jerusalem was Israel’s haven and fortress, the center of worship for God’s people. From every corner of the land, the Israelites journeyed toward the city, raising their voices in songs of praise and thanksgiving. These Psalms of Ascents encouraged God’s people to persevere amid weariness and painful struggles and renew their hope and joy along the way.
In this 10-week Bible study for women, Lydia Brownback invites readers on a verse-by-verse journey through the 15 Psalms of Ascents. With insightful reflections on the wisdom and beauty of these ancient songs, Brownback highlights God’s character and reveals deep gospel connections. Whether used individually or in groups, each lesson invites readers to reflect on key themes including worship, thanksgiving, trust, and joy—offering modern readers fresh perspectives for navigating the highs and lows of life.

“My daughter and I love using Flourish Bible Studies for our morning devotions. Lydia Brownback’s faithful probing of biblical texts; insightful questions; invitations to engage in personal applications using additional biblical texts and historical contexts; and commitment to upholding the whole counsel of God as it bears on living life as a godly woman has drawn us closer to the Lord and to his word. Brownback never sidesteps hard questions or hard providences, but neither does she appeal to discourses of victimhood or therapy, which are painfully common in the genre of women’s Bible studies. I cannot recommend this series highly enough. My daughter and I look forward to working through this whole series together!”
