In the early 1970s, some handwritten, mimeographed songs by a group of young Jesuits spread from a chapel in St. Louis to churches around the world. "Here I Am, Lord," "Be Not Afraid," and many others have become some of the most beloved songs for worship ever written. Now for the first time, The St. Louis Jesuits: Thirty Years tells the fascinating story behind the five men who became the St. Louis Jesuits and the music of hope that is their legacy. Packed with dozens of color and black-and-white photographs, letters, interviews, and other memorabilia on high-quality, glossy paper, this beautifully designed coffee table book is an intimate portrait of the group. "We've all prayed with their music, and so we know the gift it offers," writes Rev. Virgil Funk in the introduction. "With this book, we catch a glimpse of the composers and their texts, both then and now." The St. Louis Jesuits: Thirty Years documents the magic of their past and present collaboration--and the changing face of the church that has supported them through three decades. An excellent gift for pastoral musicians, the book will be of interest to all who have been touched by their music.
