Meditations & Reflections
During the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown in spring 2020, many people turned to writing. Human words, sent out across the void of our isolation. Here are the voices of just a few – with poems, psalms, songs, affirmations of faith and prayers written during a full and fraught ten weeks.
Books
One hundred 21st-century hymn texts by John L Bell & Graham Maule that can be sung to familiar tunes - making the most of minimal congregational song resources in an accessible and resilient way.
Books
In this very practical book on teaching congregations to sing, John L. Bell shares insights and techniques culled from over 20 years in which he and his colleagues in the Wild Goose Resource and Worship Groups have taught new songs in venues as diverse as old people's homes and the Greenbelt Festival with over 10,000 gathered for worship.
John Bell & Wild Goose Resource Group
Twenty-five meditations covering personal, pastoral and biblical themes. Written to be read where people are gathered, they can be used in congregational worship, or with smaller assemblies such as prayer groups, youth fellowships and housegroups.
Books
The first of two books addressing the 'whys' and 'hows' of congregational singing. Unapologetically anecdotal, it deals not with musical theories but with the reasons why people sing and how best to enable them to do so.
