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.
