Ringing Deeply Physical Book

A Devotional Book by Brian Childers

Why another devotional book? I asked myself the same question … devotional collections are readily available, including some written specifically for ringers and directors. Ultimately, I decided to compose and compile this collection because it was needed. We easily become bogged down in notes, articulations, bell changes, sporadic attendance, and scheduling issues, and, it seems, we too easily miss the joy of ringing for the glory of God. My hope is that somewhere within these pages, ringers, directors, bell fans, and everyone who is curious about our chosen instrument might find a moment of repose, a nod to the Almighty and perhaps a few glimpses of glory. May all of these thoughts, words, and meditations lead you to more inspired ringing and living.

“I will explore using these reflections in worship or in concert to bring congregations and audiences to a deeper connection to our musical handbell offerings…I now have this wonderful resource that is directed especially to my handbell musicians!”
