      This book is all about application and the big message is that better listening is the key to clearer, more faithful, sharper and more penetrating application. Application is not something to think about after exposition, but something that flows from the exposition itself as the Bible already comes pre-applied.In this very practical book you will be continually exhorted to keep on listening which will be a great blessing to you, your preaching and your congregation.

    • Folk music is universal, found in every country in the world and popularised here by performers such as Joan Baez and Steeleye Span. English folk song collectors, Cecil Sharp and Ralph Vaughan Williams, spent many hours noting the music, and in this book you will hear how the author has enthusiastically continued the work, discovering hidden gems of our heritage, recording folk songs and tunes, mainly from southern England and the USA. This book describes the colourful characters he met and here we find drinking songs, children's ditties, old ballads, wassails and bawdy tales.
