In it are 66 letters that He has written so that you might know how much He loves you and desires a personal relationship. He can no longer stand the pain of His children ignoring His file and has asked us to serve as His agent. Even though you might feel unsure about where this relationship will lead, you can know that joy awaits you in the days ahead as you pursue this friendship.

John Bell is the leading contemporary hymn writer in Scotland . He attended Kilmarnock Academy from 1962 until 1968 and after secondary school matriculated at Glasgow University . He was ordained as a minister of the Church of Scotland in 1978. After a spell in the Scots Kirk in Amsterdam and five years as a youth advisor to Glasgow Presbytery, in 1983 he went to work full-time with the Iona Community. The Community, based on the Hebridean island where St Columba had founded his monastery, is an ecumenical fellowship of men and women who seek radical ways of living out the gospel in today's world, a programme which is close to the heart of John Bell's expression of the Christian faith. In 1988 he became the Community's worship resource worker and since then has worked with its Wild Goose Resource Group, based in Glasgow, which leads liturgical events worldwide and produces contemporary hymns and worship songs.

John Bell is a major international figure in the renewal of Christian worship. The leading hymnologist Ian Bradley has stated: ‘It is hardly too much to say that John Bell has almost single-handedly transformed the culture of worship and especially of church music in Scotland '. He has edited several collections of contemporary hymns, especially Common Ground (Edinburgh: St Andrews Press, 1998) and he is the convenor of the Church of Scotland Church Hymnary Revision Committee. He has also written many hymns himself which are to be found in numerous modern hymn books. He is particularly noted for his arrangements of traditional Scottish folk tunes for his compositions, but he also uses music from throughout the world in his collections. He has stated, “I do think it's helpful to sing the songs of other cultures. By singing their songs, we can stand, to some extent, in deeper intercession with these people. And throughout that experience our understanding of mission and evangelism and the reign of God and the Trinity is enlarged.”
