A selection of new songs and prayers that lead us into an encounter with God and God's passion for justice in the world. Covering issues of economic justice and Jubilee, creation-care and war, the songs on Every God-Beloved Life will help you to express your love for God, while also embracing the least, the marginalised and the hurting.
Explore the sacrament of holy communion, unlock its hidden gifts - a sense of abundance flowing from thanksgiving; the freedom that forgiveness brings; the security that hope provides; the connection of a caring community; the awareness of the divine at all times, in all situations - and open doors to new inspiration for worship and for living.
Mystery, brokenness, holiness, confession, the cross, surrender, praise, intimacy, following Christ, reaching out - these are the elements of every believer's story, and these are the inspiration for the songs on this acoustic-rock worship CD, offering a selection of tried and tested songs that are already being sung in churches around South Africa, and the world.
