Hunger for Justice
Hymns and Songs to Change the World
Edited Martin John Nicholls
GoodBookStall Review:
This is a collection of 92 hymns and songs, in a variety of styles and from a range of sources, about Christianity in today's world. It covers topics such as justice, freedom, and bringing the Gospel to the poor, but is much more than simply a book of songs for Fair Trade Fortnight or Christian Aid Week. Many popular collections of general worship songs are a bit thin on material which speaks about the practical outworkings of Christianity, and this book will be a very useful complement to them. I found plenty that would suit a traditional organ-led worship environment, and plenty more that would work well in singer guitarist led worship. If you are responsible for selecting music for services, I'd certainly recommend that you explore this book.
