Jim Hawkinson has given us a great gift in Glad Hearts. Through extensive mining in the wealth of Covenant writings, both historical and contemporary, he has compiled a wonderful collection of the comments and reflections on theology, church life, and the personal walk of faith. Biblical commentary is included in generous measure, along with meditation, admonition, and celebration. The selections range across the entire history of the Covenant Church, including lay and clergy voices, men and women, prose and poetry and hymns. In everything, Jim's editorial skills ad his love for Christ shine through. This book will easily become indispensable to pastors, students, and anyone seeking resources for personal and communal reflection.
