Praising the God of Grace - Student
Maker, in Whom We Live; Hark! The Herald Angels Sing; Spirit of Faith, Come Down; O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing; Love Divine, All Loves Excelling; Christ from Whom All Blessings Flow; O the Depth of Love Diviā and Christ the Lord is Risen Today. These are eight hymns (of the 46 written by Charles Wesley) found in the UM Hymnal that are the themes of this eight session study. The song lyrics are printed in each session accompanied by an emphasis on the biblical content and an explanation of the principal theological issues illuminated by the hymn. There is also an introduction, biographical chapters, conclusions, and a bibliography for additional reading. This mixture of explication, discussion and singing should accomplish three of Charles Wesley's aims for his music: (1) Teach scripture with each hymn is solidly based on biblical text (2) Serve as sung affirmations of faith for individuals and groups (3) Perform a liturgical function leading people to soul-searching and praise. There is a separate Leader's Guide #0687036682 which will include a CD with the music.

A Masterwork of Doubting-Belief
R. S. Thomas (1913-2000) was a major poet of the twentieth century. He was respected by luminaries of the literary establishment, recognized with numerous awards, and nominated for the Nobel Prize in 1996. Thomas was also a priest of the Anglican Communion who wrestled ceaselessly with problems of faith and doubt in his poetry. John G. McEllhenney makes R. S. Thomas' poems, ministry, and irascible character come brilliantly alive in his new book, A Masterwork of Doubting-Belief: R. S. Thomas and His Poetry. McEllhenney, who developed a personal relationship with Thomas during the last decade of the poet's life, draws on his conversations and correspondence with Thomas, as well as his experiences as a clergyman and lover of poetry, and offers readers a unique experience that is part biography, part appreciation, and part religious meditation. A Masterwork of Doubting-Belief is an important new contribution to our understanding of R. S. Thomas and an inspiring source of insights for all who struggle with their faith!
