Welcome To Church Music And The Hymnal 1982
$21.95
First new addition to the popular and well-established “Welcome to” series in years
* First volume to introduce and explain church music and congregational singing
for beginners
Music is an essential element in Anglican worship; in fact, The Hymnal 1982 is used in
virtually every Episcopal service of worship that involves singing. While most parishioners
participate in music making at some level (such as singing hymns or common
responses), fewer people might understand the specific genres that comprise the
music of an Episcopal worship service or the liturgical meaning behind each selection.
This book provides a more in-depth understanding of this rich and complex tradition,
discussing the history and evolution of music within the Episcopal Church, including its
Anglican roots.
The book is designed to help clarify-and simplify-the importance of hymn singing and
service music in Episcopal worship, as well as explain the history, structure, and content
of The Hymnal 1982.
For those seeking to gain a better understanding of Anglican musical heritage, increase
participation in congregational singing, or expand their use of the Welcome to series.

Women Of The Bible Speak
$25.99The women of the Bible lived timeless stories–by examining them, we can understand what it means to be a woman of faith.
People unfamiliar with Scripture often assume that women play a small, secondary role in the Bible. But in fact, they were central figures in numerous Biblical tales. It was Queen Esther’s bravery at a vital point in history which saved her entire people. The Bible contains warriors like Jael, judges like Deborah, and prophets like Miriam. The first person to witness Jesus’ resurrection was Mary Magdalene, who promptly became the first Christian evangelist, eager to share the news which would change the world forever.
In The Women of the Bible Speak, Fox News Channel’s Shannon Bream opens up the lives of sixteen of these Biblical women, arranging them into pairs and contrasting their journeys. In pairing their stories, Shannon helps us reflect not only on the meaning of each individual’s life, but on how they relate to each other and to us.
From the shepherdesses of ancient Israel who helped raise the future leaders of the people of God, to the courageous early Christians, the narrative of the Bible offers us many vivid and fascinating female characters. In their lives we can see common struggles to resist bitterness, despair, and pride, and to instead find their true selves in faith, hope, and love. In studying these heroes of the faith, we can find wisdom and warnings for how to better navigate our own faith journeys.
The Women of the Bible Speak outlines the lessons we can take from the valor of Esther, the hope of Hannah, the audacity of Rahab, and the faith of Mary. In broadening each woman’s individual story, Shannon offers us a deeper understanding of each, and wisdom and insights that can transform our own lives today.
