Book Description
Each chapter of "Hymns of Christian Commitment" celebrates the lyrics to hymns about a person's commitment to God, provides information about the author, and offers reflections about what it means to put God first. Jesus emphasized the word first when he encouraged his followers to "Strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness" (Matthew 6:33). What is Christian commitment? Following Jesus becomes a choice of life priorities. It is a decision to put God first. There can be a second, third, and many more priorities, but God is chosen first to claim our attention, time, gifts, creativity, and sacrifice. It is a death, of sorts, of our old self but a rebirth of our new self, in him. "Hymns of Christian Commitment" contains some of the hymns, stories, and messages of those who sing songs like "Take my life, and let it be, Consecrated, Lord, to Thee." These hymns constitute the music of those who would invite God into the heart and treat God as an honored guest.Other books about hymns written by John Zehring include "Music of the Spheres: Hymns on Loving and Tending the Earth," "Hymns of Peace," and "Be Still My Soul: Soothing Hymn Meditations."
