The books on worship resources as well as Brian Wren's hymns have been of great help to me during the years. They are inspirational, thoughtful and practical. The writing reflects the integrity of the man. His books continue to be a splendid resource.

Struggling With Inclusive Language For God?

Brian Wren, of Progressive Christian Hymn writing fame, has done an outstanding job of helping one understand the power that language has to shape our reality. His ultimate goal is to open the reader's mind to the importance of new metaphors for our God talk. He accomplishes his goal clearly and well without getting lost in the abstract. Wren stays earthy and simple, providing many commonplace examples. Your mind and heart will be opened to this vital issue that faces anyone who wants to speak of God with meaning for Contemporary society.
