The great hymns keep on giving strength, bolstering faith. They endure because they "build on the human heart." As do these meditations based on seventy favorite hymns and gospel songs. Sometimes they beckon, softly and tenderly; sometimes they pierce like a trumpet call. Like the hymns, the readings in this books may herald tidings of comfort and joy. Rephrase an old, old story. Remind us that Jesus loves us and bids us to shine. Testify to God's amazing grace. Prompt us to fall on our knees, to lift up every voice. Some of them tie a song's origin to its message. Many weave in moments of epiphany: How and when did a particular hymn touch someone's spirit? All of them lead you to consider God's Word as you face daily victories and challenges. There's something extraordinary about these devotional readings by Evelyn Bence. Put yourself in the hands of a masterful storyteller--who knows how to draw you in and draw you near.
