On Writing Hymns
Here is a great quote about hymnody from the master poet, Alfred Lord Tennyson: “A Good hymn is the most difficult thing in the world to write.” [Hallam Tennyson, Alfred Lord Tennyson: A Memoir (London: Macmillan and Co., Ltd., 1905), 754].

Your post reminds me of the Sola Scriptura conference you spoke at this past weekend. Please forgive me for not coming up to say “hi” afterwards but I had a dinner appointment with a friend to rush out to.
I greatly appreciated your lecture on John Newton and was wondering if you would be gracious enough to send me a copy for my files. In particular I am interested in some of the letters you read that showed Newton’s pastor’s heart.
Thanks again; it was a tremendous blessing.
