'The center of Starke's hymnody has always been the person and work of Jesus Christ, as revealed in Holy Scripture. . . . This collection represents a most bounteous flowering of the Church's song—a song that proclaims the Christ of Scripture on the lips of the redeemed. And it is truly marvelous in its mercy!' - Rev. Jon D. Vieker, PhD
