God the Weaver
.
In each of the five sections –
The Festival Way
,
The Biblical Way
,
The Disciples’ Way
,
The Family Way
and
The Global Way
– Marjorie allows us to see the ‘working out of many of the texts through her own faith experience as a Methodist Local Preacher, dedicated to seeking out new paths in worship experiences meaningful for Christians today. Fresh musical settings are printed with all hymn texts, including several lively new arrangements of traditional songs.
Incisive and observant, the author’s unmistakable style will win many new admirers in this first collection of a writer and worship leader increasingly recognised for the breadth and vigour of her creative work.
