“Throughout the book I share bulleted lists of my favorite hymns on specific themes. Think of them as ‘sticky hymns’—worthwhile songs that have pasted themselves into my memory. I readily admit that the lists are arbitrary and inadequate. But I hope they will supply real-life models of the principles I’m discussing. For your convenience, we’ve posted the song lists from the book here in a format that we can update. If you have recommendations for our lists, feel free to reach out to us. Grace!”
