Five Crow Press Releases "Grace & Peace" Bible Journey with Hymns Every Day

This substantial book, spanning 858 pages, offers a unique blend of scriptural readings and hymns, designed to guide readers through the entire Bible in a year. At 858 pages, "Grace & Peace" is deliberately substantial and unhurried, with just a couple of pages a day, allowing readers to begin on any date of the year rather than waiting for January.

Tim Bruster, a former senior pastor of First United Methodist Church of Fort Worth and a lead clergy delegate to the United Methodist General Conference, has crafted this comprehensive guide. Bruster brings a rare combination of a minister's heart and a scholar's mind to the project, making "Grace & Peace" a deeply personal and scholarly exploration of the Bible. The book is structured around 365 daily readings, each closing with a hymn. This pairing of scripture and song is what sets "Grace & Peace" apart, according to early readers. The hymns, their composers, and the years they were written are included, inviting readers to explore these musical pieces further.

"Grace & Peace" is not just a reading program or a devotional to be skimmed through. It is intended as a credo for daily living, a way to let the wisdom of Scripture shape an ordinary day. The book is designed to be unhurried, with just a couple of pages a day, allowing readers to begin at any date of the year. Grounded in serious theology yet warm and accessible, it belongs to no single church or denomination, only to the love of God and the teachings of Jesus Christ, which makes it a book readers across traditions, and none, can hand to a friend.

For groups, "Grace & Peace" is built to be used collectively. Its 365 readings put a class, a small group, or an entire congregation in the same passages day by day. Five Crow Press offers a church and group price for orders of 25 copies or more, making it accessible for community use. The book is available in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle editions from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other booksellers. Review copies are available to reviewers, media, and booksellers on request.
