"Pam Rhodes brings a warm personal touch to the telling of some great stories about the greatest hymns."

- Sally Magnusson, journalist, broadcaster and writer,

Beautifully written, Pam’s reflections on the stories behind our much loved hymns are truly inspiring, reminding us of God’s faithfulness, presence and grace in our daily lives.

- Dave Bilbrough, songwriter and contemporary worship leader,

“Pam brings to the page a warmth and freshness, enabling these hymns to lift our hearts to God and point us again to Jesus.”

- Bishop Timothy Dudley-Smith, hymnwriter,

Pam Rhodes is the presenter of the world's number one religious TV programme, 'Songs of Praise'. Here she brings together her meditations on 40 of her favourite hymns, reflecting on the story behind them and their meaning. Each meditation concludes with a brief prayer. Pam writes, 'Hymns are prayers in our pockets, a spiritual first aid kit that has its home amongst our memories. Hymns speak to us and for us, heart to heart, soul to soul, connecting us in fellow feeling to the writer, whoever they were and whenever they wrote.' The words of the great hymns aren't always cosy and comfortable. They nudge our conscience and scrape away at our complacency. They remind us of the true demands of the Christian life. They spur us on to react and respond. Most of all, they remind us of the Almighty God who created the heavens and earth in all their vastness and complexity, but who also created us to be unique and precious through His divine and amazing love. Like the hymns it draws upon, Love So Amazing is sure to become a timeless classic that will be read time and again for hope, inspiration and life. Also available as a CD from Elevation Music.
