For almost 250 years, the hymns of Charles Wesley have continued to shape and form people increasingly into the image of Christ. This wonderful volume from Gary Holloway takes us deeper into this rich treasure trove of hymns that are worthy of passing on to the next generation.

Arise My Soul is a compelling mixture of beautiful hymns from Charles Wesley with reflections on God’s Word, blended with rich theology. In these daily meditations the heart is lifted before our Creator as He continues to write the song of our Lord Jesus within us, to sing for the world around us. What a wonderful treasure from Dr. Gary Holloway.
