More than just a book of hymns, this work, published in collaboration
with the Sunday School Publishing Board, is an essential reference for
lovers of African American devotional music. Ideal for pastors, choir
directors, or members of the clergy or congregation, this landmark
publication brings together beloved hymns, spirituals, and gospel tunes
with new songs of praise. The traditional and contemporary songs as well
as the responsive readings--one for every Sunday of the year--address
themes that include healing, the poor, forgiveness, peace, and praise,
and litanies designed for special days throughout the year, such as
church anniversaries, Advent, mothers, funerals, and singles ministry.
Special features such as the Church Covenant, Articles of Faith, and
extensive indexes on a range of topics are also included.
