Hymn Workouts
100 Exercises to Set Your Heart Ablaze
Joe Barnard
For people whose spiritual life has stagnated
Grow in spiritual fitness
Workouts include Bible reading, hymn, Scripture references and meditation questions
Many of us feel like our spiritual growth has stalled. Often the problem of stagnating faith is down to one simple fact – we all have a bias towards ease. Our spiritual routines are easy: passively reading our Bibles and a few distracted minutes spent in prayer. This book of spiritual workouts is meant to push complacent souls back out into the space of exertion and discovery. It will engage and sharpen the faculties of the mind – memory, imagination, intellect, conscience and will.

If you want to kindle your love for God, read this book. It is a steady flame that will reignite your candle of faith, set ablaze your torch of vision, and warm a cooling heart.

Not only does this book help us rediscover the beauty and splendour of our God through the treasured hymns of the past, but it reconnects our weary hearts to a steady rhythm of Scripture that pumps life into the soul.
Jason Nelson

This wonderful work takes the lyrics our hearts love to sing and pairs them with reflections that helps our minds meditate deeply on the truths contained within. I trust the devotional aspects of the book will enliven its doxological heartbeat.
