Excerpt from Living Pictures in the Church of the Holy Communion, and Other Thoughts in Verse Coming to the Church of the Holy Com munion thirty years after the words I have quoted were spoken by its first pastor, and carefully observing its work, I soon felt that the hopes must have been high indeed in the beginning that had not been already more than realized. On expressing my feelings in Dreamland Church in Stone, I found I had only echoed the thoughts of hundreds, many of whom thanked me so warmly for that expression, and still ask for copies of it, that I have been tempted to'send forth this volume (in aid of one of the many chari ties of the church), which I affectionately in. Scribe to the clear, familiar friends who now gather around me, and make me feel that I can no longer say with truth that I am a lone, strange worshipper.

As well as the name of a virus, a corona is a crown, the pearly glow around the sun in certain astronomical conditions and a poetic form where interlinking lines connect a sequence. It is the perfect name therefore for this new collection of 150 poems by the bestselling poet Malcolm Guite, each one written in response to the Bible’s 150 psalms as they appear in William Coverdale’s timeless translation. The Psalms express every human emotion with disarming honesty, as anger and thankfulness alike are directed at God. All of life is here with its moments of beauty and its times of despair and shame. Like the Psalms themselves, the poems do not avoid the cursing and glorying over the downfall of your enemies, but wrestle honestly with them as we do when we come to say them.

Every year thousands of God's servants leave the ministry convinced they are failures. Years ago, in the midst of a crisis of faith, Kent Hughes almost became one of them. But instead he and his wife Barbara turned to God's Word, determined to learn what God had to say about success and to evaluate their ministry from a biblical point of view. This book describes their journey and their liberation from the "success syndrome"-the misguided belief that success in ministry means increased numbers. In today's world it is easy to be seduced by the secular thinking that places a number on everything. But the authors teach that true success in ministry lies not in numbers but in several key areas: faithfulness, serving, loving, believing, prayer, holiness, and a Christlike attitude. Their thoughts will encourage readers who grapple with feelings of failure and lead them to a deeper, fuller understanding of success in Christian ministry. This book was originally published by Tyndale in 1987 and includes a new preface.
