Unrevealed Until Its Season

Join The Upper Room as we journey through Lent with beloved hymns.

Read the Book

“Hymns embed faith into the marrow of the soul,” author Rev. Dr. James C. Howell writes in Unrevealed Until Its Season: A Lenten Journey with Hymns. Howell believes in the power of song to teach spiritual truths. His newest book takes us on a 40-day journey through well-loved hymns. A meaningful Lenten resource, Unrevealed Until Its Season provides daily readings, pondering key phrases from songs of faith, like “Be Thou My Vision,” “Hymn of Promise,” “All Creatures of Our God and King,” and “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross.” In addition to daily devotional readings, the book offers a guide for leading a small group study centered on weekly themes.

Take the eCourse

Songs of faith shape our understanding of theological truths; they remind us who God is. When we listen to hymns, the music awakens our auditory imagination and etches the hymn’s words into our memories. Lingering in our minds, hymns offer a regular reminder of God’s presence with us. Our Lenten eCourse, Listening through Lent with James C. Howell, features all content from the book, Unrevealed Until Its Season, which is made accessible in our online classroom. The eCourse also includes video introductions to each week’s theme, a place to post comments, and a weekly live session of teaching and conversation with The Upper Room staff.
