Open Your Hymnal-Devotions That Harmonize Scripture and Song makes me sing. Denise Loock has taken the story behind the songs and squeezed in the perfect scriptural context to take a hymn to the next level. God speaks clearly to us through music, and when the words of a hymn can dig deeper into our souls, then we feel Him move in our hearts. What a joy to read. What a moment in time to reflect. What an opportunity to be taught. Open your hymnal and go deeper.Cindy K. SprolesAuthor of Meet Me Where I Am, Lord and This Is Where It Ends Denise Loock has taken time to produce an original perspective on some very familiar hymns. It is a welcome companion to the morning Bible meditations that many of us enjoy.Cleo LamposAuthor of A Bookmobile Noeland Creating Comfort-ers Denise Loock is a master of the English language, and in Open Your Hymnal, she intertwines her knowledge of the English language, God's Word, and hymns. In a time when many churches have removed hymnals-and when many of our young people have never sung some of the old songs of the faith-Denise demonstrates how the lyrics of hymns can intersect with God's Word and how using both tools can give us a deeper understanding of the Bible. From the first to the last word, you will not be disappointed with this treasure of a book. Martin WilesEnglish teacher, pastor, author, and freelance editor
