Praising a Mystery (Brian Wren) – Hope Publishing Company (distributed in Europe by Stainer & Bell Ltd) 1986 More Hymns for One World – Methodist Church Division of Social Responsibility/Methodist Pub.House 1982 Mr. McGahan’s Praise is unoriginal, crass, and off-putting. It’s also one of the most entertaining books I’ve read in a while. Gordon comes from Dalby, a two and half hour drive west from Brisbane. Dalby is the quintessential rural Queensland town, deeply white, conservative and religious. Large families abound with well-meaning parents who tend towards a rural outlook with a friendly attitude but a fear of outsiders and change. I worked with a man who was homosexual who came from Dalby and he had no choice but to move as coming out would have been a disaster for him and his family. Author McGahan is from Dalby as is his character Gordon. I wonder if there is a little bit of the author in Gordon. Gordon left Dalby and wandered into pub work in Brisbane. He eventually left that to go on the dole and with that fell into the sparse world of boarding house living, unenjoyable sex and unenjoyable drugs. He occasionally attempted to be a poet but found his own poetry a chore. Later Hymns & Ballads & Fifty Poems (Fred Pratt Green) – Hope Publishing Company and Stainer & Bell Ltd 1989Faith Will Sing (Dan Damon) – Hope Publishing Company (distributed in Europe by Stainer & Bell Ltd) 1993 It was the first book, almost one of the few books, I've read, where sex was a way the female character used to deal with physical pain, and perhaps also inner tumult. They were having sex cause they were both available, not because they were in love or crazy about each other physically.

I can even recall when I first began to experience or to see God. I must have been aged about six and, as we sang 'Sing Hosanna', I became aware of God near me and also in my mind. I felt such an overwhelming sense of joy and happiness. It was wonderful. And magical. Like a dream but real. Like this great big mystery had been revealed to me. I began to see God quite clearly and, after the hymn had finished, I simply wanted to worship what I had seen.
