The words of a favourite hymn can be a lifeline in difficult times, providing an outlet for feelings that may threaten to overwhelm us. Hymns also help us celebrate life -- to see joy in the ordinary stuff of the everyday, as well as in those moments when we feel particularly touched by God's love. Pam Rhodes' reflections in this absorbing volume -- on subjects such as weariness and comfort, faith and forgiveness, prayer and guidance, community and creation -- are given added resonance by the inclusion of background information on the writers of the 160 or so hymns featured. Containing original line drawings and decoration, this is a beautifully packaged book that can be enjoyed for many years.

Introduction

One more step along the world I go

O love that wilt not let me go

Me comfort still

Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us

Forgive our foolish ways

Bind us together, Lord

And to the weary, rest

Count your blessings

Protect us wheresoe’er we go

The Good Book Stall

I feared this would be nothing more than a ‘gift book’, beautifully produced but with not many pages, instead it is a little treasure trove of meditations on many many hymns, often quoting only one verse but referring to others in the following thought provoking piece. Although as Pam Rhodes tells us, a lot of hymns started out as poems, if the words are familiar you will not be able to stop yourself ‘singing’ them as you read, the tunes are so much a part of them.  
Not only does the author meditate on the hymns but she also tells us about the hymn writers, and this helps us to understand why they have written as they have.   
I’m so glad this has been published with a durable Flexiback; it will be constantly used for many years to come.
