(Words by Samuel Crossman, 1664)

My song is love unknown,
My Savior’s love to me,
Love to the loveless shown
That they might lovely be.

If you didn’t make it to the “Good Friday” joint service for Christ Church and Trinity Reformed Church, here in Moscow, Idaho, you missed Pastor Sumpter’s thought provoking sermon. And even those who were there said they wished they could hear it again. Unfortunately, we didn’t record the service.

However, we asked Pastor Sumpter to re-record it in our humble, basement studio. So step on over to Canon’s online sermon page and listen to the sermon, in all it’s fullness, listed under Trinity Reformed Church. You won’t hear people coughing, babies crying, or general signs of life in the background, but the words will still wrap around your heart and squeeze ever-so-gently. Please feel free to copy, upload, duplicate, and whatever.

You’ll find the words and music for My Song Is Love Unknown, by John Ireland, on page 366 of the Cantus Christi.

A giant-sized “thank you” to Pastor Sumpter.

December is here, and if you’re anything like us, you’re already stressing a little bit about what to get everybody on your list. So this year, to make shopping that much easier, we bundled some of our most popular titles together. You’ll find the perfect pairing of books for your grandchild, parents, pastor, and maybe, even a little something for yourself… Plus, we know everyone’s wallet is feeling extra-pinched these days, so we’ve discounted each set of books at least 50%!

Enjoy, and Merry Christmas from all of us at Canon Press.

“Hey Dad?” Joey walked over and leaned against the arm of the chair where his Dad sat reading. “You know, all I really want for Christmas this year is a copy of The Chestnut King.”

Mr Gooben set the copy of Alexander the Great down in his lap and peered over his glasses at his son. “That’s all you want, Joey? Are you sure?” He asked. “Because the book doesn’t come out until January 26th. It won’t be here for you on Christmas day. Hey…where are you going?”

Joey quickly ran out of the room and returned holding his copy of 100 Cupboards. “Remember the year you put a special thing under the tree to tell me I was getting this book for Christmas? Can’t you do that again? Then I’ll have all three books. Last year for my birthday you bought me Dandelion Fire.

“Let me check with your Mom,” Mr Gooben replied as he stood up and set his book down on the coffee table. “I can’t remember where she bought it.”

“Oh Dad,” Joey laughed and hugged him, “You don’t remember? She bought it at Canon Press. You can’t get a signed bookplate anywhere else.”

“That’s right,” said Mr Gooben. “And there were only a limited number available. What number did you get on that book?”

Joey opened the book cover and glanced at the bookplate stuck to the page and signed by N.D. Wilson. “This one has number 73 on it.” He looked at his Dad and tried to hide his worry. “Do you think it’s too late, Dad? Do you think they have any left?”

Mr Gooben patted his son’s head and smiled. “If we order it now, I’m sure we’ll be one of the 200 people who get the bookplate. Let’s go find your Mom. She has all the money around here.”
