Love Astounding: Hymns of Jeannette M. Lindholm
This collection contains 23 hymns by Jeannette M. Lindholm, hymns that give careful and thoughtful voice to the mystery and wonder of God and God’s people. Her poetry invites us not only to sing but also to examine and expand the metaphors we use for God in our worship and devotion.
Lindholm’s Introduction is also a brilliant essay on the particular ways she considers language, word choice, and poetic construction to explore and proclaim theology. Indexes by topic, Scripture, and meter make this a useful volume for church musicians, pastors, and all who plan worship.
