Alphabetical Index to the First Lines of All Stanzas of Poetry by John and Charles Wesley

Arts & Literature

“No one has done more than S T Kimbrough, Jr. to rescue the work of John and Charles Wesley from the hands of amateurs and 'Reverend Drones' (see p. 367). The present work is a herculean task and a labor of love: it provides a clear and accurate reference tool to those seeking to find a half-forgotten stanza or a mis-remembered line. It will be an indispensable first reference point for all serious inquirers into the hymns of the Wesley brothers, and for all scholars of their hymns.”

Amazing Love! How Can It Be

Preaching & Worship

“One of the best ways of studying the hymns of Charles Wesley is through a detailed commentary on individual hymns. This book will be a very useful contribution to an understanding of his art and his theology.”

Magical Nature

Arts & Literature

“S T Kimbrough’s nature poems are full of moments of astonishment—the ‘magical nature’ of the book’s title, a ‘Montana Spring,’ the playfulness of a squirrel, a chipmunk climbing up a wall, the beauty of a blue heron—all are celebrated in verse that is traditional in rhyme and meter but full of surprises. The natural world has enchanted ‘S T’ since childhood and remains vivid to him with acute perception and happy recollection.”

What Do You Have To Say? Poetry’s Eternal Question

Arts & Literature

Foreword

“S T Kimbrough’s latest collection of poems is full of questions about words, how we express ourselves, how we communicate, and what this tells us about ourselves and our society. We need words. One poem reminds us that body language can be powerful, but its range is limited; another suggests that silence is divine (but cannot take us forward). This collection moves similarly from a set of poems, sometimes even lighthearted, through a series of stages, to a profoundly moral view of the situation in which humanity finds itself. By writing these poems Kimbrough has raised a flag in the struggle for a better world.”

Wrestling the Angel

Arts & Literature

“This splendid book of hymns and short commentaries is a labor of love. Kimbrough is a renowned authority on the hymns of Charles Wesley, and this book contains a wisdom that has accumulated over many years. Kimbrough shows us that hymns written almost three centuries ago can help us to understand the world and our place in it. He convinces the reader of Wesley’s greatness, and of his ability to speak to our concerns today.”
