Author James Howell believes in the power of song to teach spiritual truths. "Hymns
embed faith into the marrow of the soul," he writes. In Unrevealed Until Its Season,
Howell takes readers on a 40-day journey through popular songs of the church.
Reflecting on well-loved hymn phrases, Howell helps readers discover who God is and
what following Jesus means. A great Lenten devotional guide for individuals, small
groups, and church choirs, this book is an invaluable resource—and perfect gift—for
musicians as they prepare for worship, and for ministers as they preach and lead
worship.
The weekly themes include Praising God, Hymns About Jesus, Hymns of Forgiveness,
Hymns of Vision, Hymns of Beauty, Hymns of Holy Week, and Hymns of Easter. Howell
ponders phrases from hymns old and new, such as "Be Thou My Vision," "Hymn of
Promise," "All Creatures of Our God and King," "For Everyone Born," "Come, Thou
Fount of Every Blessing," "Lift High the Cross," and "When I Survey the Wondrous
Cross."
