The new edition of Words of Life (January to April 2009) runs through varied terrain. It begins in Genesis, continues with the letter from James, adds a special loop through ‘partners in ministry’ (supplied by guest writers Majors Richard and Janet Munn), carries on with Matthew’s Gospel (through Holy Week) and finishes with thoughts about windows in scripture.
As for the Sunday readings, the writer declares: ‘Where our windows frame balmy summer or bleak winter scenes at the start of a new year, on Sundays we will let songwriters and psalmists turn our grateful hearts toward the Creator of our world.’
Words of Life is written by Major Evelyn Merriam.
