I am professor of worship at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, Evanston, Illinois, and a widely-published author of hymn texts.  My first purpose in creating this website is to make information about my hymns more readily available to people who would like to sing them in churches.  I am also hoping to provide quick answers to questions I am frequently asked, especially since my responsibilities as professor make it difficult to answer all the email I receive.  I will be adding more resources and links as time goes by.  I wish you God's peace.

This is Our Song:

Women's Hymn-Writing

Edited by Janet Wootton

London: Epworth, 2010.

This book tells the stories of women hymn writers through the century, including living women (who tell their own stories).

I have told my own story in a chapter of the book and in the next few weeks it will be posted on the site.
