From the Foreword by Sally Magnusson: There are more than 2,000 hymns here from over 400 authors, imaginatively arranged and impeccably indexed. It is a marvellous collection ...It's a collection to dive into, in confidence that wherever you plunge you will always draw out some pearl or another.

In this first volume we have looked at the lessons God taught me, like learning to love each other despite our differences.
