THE HOPEFUL HEART - the new audio book from John R. Claypool

Hope is to the human spirit what breath is to the physical body - the very fuel that animates our being. So says best-selling author John Claypool. In his inimitable pastoral and gentle way, Claypool explores biblically based avenues to hopefulness in his first audio book which he narrates.

YOU ARE BEING REDEEMED (Claypool Benediction)
Sheet Music for SATB and Keyboard by Earlene Rentz

This beautiful text by Episcopal and Baptist Minister John Claypool (1930-2005) is regarded as his “signature benediction,” and will be easily recognized by those who have attended John’s workshops, retreats, and worship experiences. The text charges those in attendance to “Depart in the fellowship of God the Father,” and concludes with the message of hope that we are constantly being redeemed in our lives by “the love of God, fully revealed in the face of Jesus.”
