Repeat the Sounding Joy by Christopher Ash is a devotional for advent. I truly enjoyed this study of Luke 1 & 2. It moved me, made me think deeper in the surroundings of Jesus’ birth and was uplifting to my soul. I truly enjoyed this study and the hymns that accompanied each daily devotion.

Our family has truly been enjoying the content of this book. We have 3 young adults and it's not to long or to childish for their attention span. Usually devotionals are to childish or to dry. Repeat the sounding joy is just right in teaching/scripture content. However, our family loves to sing and I was excited that there were hymns in this book. Sadly, not only do we not know most of them, but they can be hard to find because there is no titles. This is possibly because we are Americans and these seem to be English hymns, but ...would it be possible to put out a digital hymnal with this product? Or at least where to find them. Our family would be grateful!

This was one of the Advent books recommended through our church. From the outset to completion the author has thrown fresh light on Scriptures which had become familiar. The daily reflections have touched our hearts and blessed us deeply. At first glance the oldness of the hymns seemed questionable, but we soon came to appreciate the Scriptural integrity of the words and each day we've found a sung version on YouTube so we could sing too.
