Hymns that live - Frank Colquhoun

Their meaning and message

The long-awaited companion volume to Canon Colquhoun's two bestsellers, Parish Prayers and Contemporary Parish Prayers. 

At the heart of Christian worship, hymns are a treasure store of wisdom and beauty, yet few are familiar with their background and writers. Difficulties of language and content are rarely explained. Frank Colquhoun meets these needs with clarity and thoroughness. Biblical references are identified, doctrinal content explained and the poetry of hymns analysed in a devotional commentary both perceptive and inspiring.
