FRH Songs of Praise and Bible Verses Paraphrase is a compilation of 52 original songs composed to the tunes of well-known songs and hymns in the Christian church, and 52 originally paraphrased Bible verses in the context of family relational health. The work is designed to provide families with a repertoire of songs and hymns that inspire, encourage and challenge them as they grapple with, and even protest against the contemporary issues negatively impacting family relationships from a fundamental Bible-based perspective. These songs and hymns are timely and relevant because the available songs in the present church hymnals do not address most of the modern issues that have the family under attack. The Holy Bible is repeatedly and correctly referred to as God’s Family Book; but not every text or verse in it seems to speak directly and immediately to a specific family issue. Paraphrasing/paralleling of selected Bible verses is done to achieve that goal of immediate application to some of the contemporary relational issues negatively affecting families. Supporting the songs and paraphrased Bible verses are four Appendices with Titbits, Suggestions and Recommendations for the improvement of one’s Private Prayer life, and Marital Relationships. Included also is the innovative Family Seminar Sandwich Series - A ‘Sandwich’ object lesson approach to conducting Family Relational Health Seminars. This book is the product of nearly forty years of working with families across the world, and will bring more light and life to singing generally at Church and specifically at family gatherings at home, retreats, conventions, with all categories of the family: men, women, married, single, young and the aged, parents and children finding songs composed especially for them. In family morning or evening worship, one song and one paraphrased/paralleled Bible verse can be learned for the 52 weeks of the year. The songs are presented in words only, seeing that the tunes are popularly known and the scores are already available in the public domain and in most hymnals.

This is an invaluable handbook on Methodism containing an introduction, dictionary of key terms, and concentrates on key themes, methodology and research problems for those interested in studying the origins and development of the history and theology of world Methodism. The literature describing the history and development of Methodism has been growing as scholars and general readers have become aware of its importance as a world church with approximately 40 million members in 300 Methodist denominations in 140 nations. The tercentenary celebrations of the births of its founders, John and Charles Wesley, in 2003 and 2007 provided an additional focus on the evolution of the movement which became a church.

Revised with Comprehensive Scriptural Index to Wesley's Poetry The theology of Charles Wesley is expressed primarily in hymns and sacred poems-that is, in a literary and liturgical form of art. Wesley's theological concerns, as seen through his hymns and poems, include inquiries into the meaning of the church's sacred rites, festivals, and seasons (Holy Communion, Baptism, Advent, Christmas, Easter, Ascension, Pentecost), and a host of other theological concerns, such as conversion, sanctification, perfection, holiness, grace, and love. These theological concerns are spread throughout his repertory of over 9,000 hymns and poems. There are two primary purposes of this volume: first, to prepare the reader to read Wesley's poetry, given the plethora of literary, theological, and societal influences on his thought and writing; and second, to bring together a collection of his hymns and sacred poems that are representative of his theological perspectives. Thereby the reader is given the opportunity to become better equipped to grasp the meaning of Wesley's profound lyrical theology and its implications for contemporary theology and life.
