This thoughtful collection of poems, with many references to Scripture, is a helpful resource both for daily devotions and for public worship. Divided into categories that match key events in the Christian calendar as well as major theological themes, the poems draw the reader's attention to the glory of God and the eternal outworking of his purposes, including the future return of Christ.
With illustrations by Helen Pattison, this book is a beautiful addition to any Christian book collection.

"I have known Ian for over 20 years, and heard and read his poems during that period. When I became a Supernumerary Minister in 2006 I sat under Ian's preaching on a number of occasions and have heard him use his poems as songs, accompanying himself on the guitar (sadly because of the advance of Parkinson's, he is no longer able to do that). I believe that his work is inspired by the Holy Spirit and will be upbuilding for preachers, Christians and those seeking their way to faith. I thoroughly endorse this book and trust that many will be blessed through its words - including Ian's own testimony which it contains."

"This collection of poems and reflections emerges from a lifetime of Christian faith by a man immersed in the scriptures. The tone is worshipful, addressing God with delight, joy and a desire to worship and serve. There is much that will encourage individual readers, as well as material to use in public worship. It is carefully arranged around the Christian Year and its major themes, enhanced by simple, beautiful art work. When you read the story of Ian's faith in the final section, you will see where the poetry has its deep roots."
