Description For much of Christian history, pastors not only served as theologians and preachers, but also as poets and hymn writers.
They ministered through their preaching and their poetry, their sermons and their songs--laboring to see God's truth planted not only in people's minds, but helping it find its way into their hearts and even onto their lips.
They viewed such labors as an artistic and devotional tool of catechesis, one that has largely gone missing over the last few generations.
But in this new collection of hymns and poems, Justin Wainscott recaptures that rich legacy of pastor-poets, providing God's people with theology that stirs and sings.
Whether his poetry pertains to matters of common grace or saving grace, the mundane or the majestic, he gives readers an opportunity to lose themselves in wonder, love, and praise.
And a book like this one couldn't come at a better time.
In this age of distracted reading marked mainly by skimming and scanning, our souls need the kind of slow, deep reading that poetry rewards.
Justin Wainscott is a rarity--a faithful biblical expositor with superb pastoral gifts who is also a skilled poet and an excellent hymn writer.
Here we have some of his best work offered to the church and meant to bless the Lord's people everywhere.
A book of spiritual reading for morning and evening in every season of life.
--Timothy George, Founding Dean of Beeson Divinity School of Samford University and General Editor of the Reformation Commentary on Scripture Majestic and meaningful, edifying and enabling, creative and contemplative, the beautiful hymns and poems found in Lost in Wonder, Love, and Praise will provide a wonderful resource for followers of Jesus Christ.
The hymns and poems connect with key days on the calendar of the church and with the many events and challenges that characterize life.
Readers will be encouraged and strengthened in their spiritual journeys as well as in their worship of the one true and living God.
