Praying Twice: The Music and Words of Congregational Song
 This book took several years to write, as I traveled throughout the UK and North America following a freelance ministry relating to  hymnody and congregational song. Periodically my spouse would ask, with a smile, "When are you going to finish this stupid book?"  Hence the abbreviation, TSB, on the dedication page.  I believe this work explores  the limited area in which I have expertise, and hope that it has proven to be readable and useful.  The opening chapter - historical glimpses - was added at my editor's suggestion. The chapters are -1."Through All the Changing Scenes of Life": Glimpses of Congregational Song  [historical portraits starting from 1970 and going back in time]2."Rescue the Holy Pleasure": Why Congregational Song is Indispensable.3."A More Profound Alleluia": Encouraging the People's Song4."Some Demand a Driving Beat": Contemporary Worship Music.5."And Speak Some Boundless Thing": Assessing the Lyrics of Congregational Song6."Sing them Over Again to Me": Refrains, Choruses, and Other People's Songs.7."Captured by Gender": Chant and Ritual Song.8."Such a Feast as Mends in Length": Hymns as Poems of Faith.9."To Me, to all, Thy Bowels Move": Why Do They Keep Changing the Good Old Hymns?10."Echoes of the Gospel": How Hymns Do Theology.
