Taught by Love: Worship Resources for Year A

Rating:
Summary: Absolutely Worthwhile
Review: These worship resources have not only helped me create meaningful liturgies, but have also led me into conversation with the lectionary readings so that my sermons are strengthened as well. Coming from a progressive Reformed tradition within the United Church of Christ, the author has provided a full range of resources, including original hymn texts with tune suggestions, for each week. She does remind worship planners not to put all of these resources into any given service. It is advice well worth heeding.

Occasionally the writing gets wordy in a prosaic way, language that does not rise to the needs of human encounter with the divine. But I have never found a week when this applied to more than a couple of the resources provided. I keep this one handy.

Summary: This book was a joy and an inspiration for worship.
Review: We have used this book as a resource for our worship and it is so appropriately titled. The love that it displays to the people in our congregation is wonderful. The words fit even when we had special occasions like Men's Day or Youth Sundays. I feel truly blessed to have discovered this resource because it makes my job of doing the weekly bulletin so fulfilling as I read the words for our weekly service. I am looking forward to next year's edition.
