The words of a favourite hymn can be a lifeline in difficult times, providing an outlet for feelings that may threaten to overwhelm us. Hymns also help us celebrate life to see joy in the ordinary stuff of the everyday, as well as in those moments when we feel particularly touched by Gods love. Pam Rhodes' reflections in this absorbing volume - on subjects such as weariness and comfort, faith and forgiveness, prayer and guidance, community and creation - are given added resonance by the inclusion of background information on the writers of the 160 or so hymns featured. Containing original line drawings and decoration, this is a beautifully packaged book that can be enjoyed for many years.

A marvellous collection of inspirational, heartwarming true-life stories by the much loved Songs of Praise presenter In the course of her work for the BBC, Pam Rhodes has met hundreds of people whose stories have messages for us all. Some are famous, many are now her friends. Some have found inspiration and support through their Christian faith, others have found strength in other ways. Now a number of them have felt able to share with Pam - and with us - their touching and emotive, sometimes shocking experiences. It's an intimate and encouraging book of personal, heartfelt stories that echo the kinds of challenges most of us face at some time in our lives. For instance, Elaine Harrild was the teacher at Dunblane primary school. Shot herself and handicapped ever since, she witnessed the insane massacre of sixteen children, and has worked ever since to hold their small community together. A group of former POWs who worked on the Death Railway were stunned to hear of a monument to their former comrades in Japan itself, and were moved to return fifty years later to participate in an act of reconciliation. Ruth Merry, paraplegic from birth, talks of her experiences representing Britain in the Disabled Olympics - and her search for a man! And Frances Shand-Kydd talks movingly of her presonal response to the death of her daughter, Princess Diana.

For most of the last 2000 years, churches have formed the core of community activity throughout Britain and Ireland. Despite increasing secularization, more people still go to church on Sunday than attend football matches on Saturday. In this charming new book, popular TV presenter Pam Rhodes takes the reader on a personal, illustrated tour from Orkney to Cornwall, Belfast to Essex, exploring the rich variety of architectural styles, history and character of her favorite churches.  Alongside the glory of some of the great cathedrals we are invited to sample the intimate atmosphere of some of the tiniest churches in the land. We visit churches which have endured throughout the last millennium and communities which have played their part in modern day conflict resolution.
