From John L Bell and the Wild Goose Resource Group, nineteen songs that are singable, road tested and gutsy. They include ancient words, familiar tunes, biblical poetry and global testimony, with themes from mission to mourning and the sacraments to the environment, enabling us to sing urgently and authentically in expression of perennial concerns and pressing issues of today.

John Bell is a preacher, hymnwriter, composer, lecturer and broadcaster. An ordained minister of the Church of Scotland and a member of the Iona Community, he is the founder, along with the late Graham Maule, of the Wild Goose Worship Group and the Wild Goose Resource Group. The primary focus of his work is the renewal of congregational worship at grass roots level.

There is also a CD of these songs available, sung by the Wild Goose Collective.
