Bought in Iona Scotland. An excellent anthology of anthems and hymns for worship, original words and compositions by John Bell and Graham Maule, sometimes using traditional Scottish folk song melodies and some original compositions. Music can be played with piano or guitar, or can be sung unaccompanied.
Themes include:
- Creation and Caring (the making of the world and the caring of the Creator).
- God coming among us (Advent and Christmas)
- Jesus, one of us (songs of the life, teaching and ministry of Jesus)
- meditative chants and responses
There is an index at the end with "Ten Golden Rules for enabling the least confident of people to teach new songs to the most cynical of congregations."
Highly recommended: good for worship in North America as well as in Britain, and for small informal services as well as large Sunday morning services. ( )
