About the Book

Christopher Idle's hymns are known to many people around the world. They are sung in thousands of churches every Sunday. Ten years on from Light upon the River, this new collection contains one hundred further hymn-texts written in the past decade. As before, each item is anchored in scripture, with Bible references and notes, recommended tunes and full indexing. Some are locally focused and some written with children in mind, but most are for singing by the whole congregation.

About the Author :
Christopher Martin Idle, born in September 1938, spent 30 years in parish ministry in the Church of England in both urban and rural settings. His first hymn-collection, Light upon the River, marked his 60th birthday in 1998. The present book gathers the fruit of the ten years since then. In the decade of these hundred, their author has also written Real Hymns, Real Hymn Books (Grove, 2000) and Exploring Praise vols 1 and 2 (Praise Trust 2006 and 2007, a companion to the hymn-book Praise!, 2000). He has four married sons, and as grandchildren kept arriving in this period - eleven so far - Grandpa's Amazing Poems and Awful Pictures appeared in 2005 (with better illustrations by Howard Garbutt). Chris's wife Marjorie died in February 2003. Christopher is now retired and lives in South London.

Review :
Christopher Idle's work shows him to be a man of firm convictions but wide sympathies...This book will be valued in all parts of the Christian church where there is commitment to a close relationship between the worship of God and the word of God. Alan Dunstan: the Bulletin of the Hymn Society of Great Britain and Ireland. Christopher Idle has given us a substantial book of learning and devotion, which could serve us a life-time...This 60th birthday collection encourages me to believe that in the case of this contemporary author, real faith-enhancing hymnody is still alive and well. I look forward to much more. Alan Gaunt: News of Hymnody. This is a treasure-chest is packed with gems... great for just reading or as an aid to private devotions, apart from its value to those who lead services of public worship. Evangelicals Now. Time and again it is Idle's faithfulness to the bible text (always unforced and elegantly done) which allows him a "public language" of greater resonance than that of the worship song guitarists. Geoffrey Kirk: New Directions. Idle's hymn texts are laced with biblical quotations, allusion, and metaphors...While they are certainly intended to be sung, they also make inspiring devotional reading as prayers, theological reflections, and commentary on Christian life in the modern world...I want to commend these perceptive hymn texts to all readers. Bert Polman: Reformed Worship.
