I'm happy to announce that I've just signed a contract for another book! Like my previous one, this will be a work of historical missiology. It focuses on the story of how the earliest English hymns, through the skill of their writers and the grace of God's providence, succeeded in transforming the entire missional culture of English-speaking churches in less than a century and prepared the way for a global mission movement. We're still a long way from any release date, but I will post that information here when we come to it. Thanks to William Carey Publishing for their continued partnership! (With all this going on, there will be no regular blog posts this week, but I'll try to get back on track next week.)
