Living Hymns

Notes: "Between his retirement as Bishop of Montreal and his death, James MacLean contributed to the diocesan newspaper these 21 studies of familiar hymns. Disregarding tunes, he provides only enough background information on each text to illustrate the lessons it seeks to teach. He knows, and can show us, how to use a hymn as a devotional exercise, in private or with others; this his aim and his example outweigh what he had time to achieve". Text of entire review.
