"Handel’s Messiah is not just one of the world’s greatest musical masterpieces: it is a tapestry of worship pointing to Jesus. Dave and Sally Gobbett, in this brilliant introduction to a timeless work, have sought to draw out the meaning behind the music and to help us to end the year meditating on our Messiah’s redeeming love and grace."

- Michael Andrews, Senior Music Minister, All Souls Langham Place; Director, All Souls Music

"Hallelujah is beautifully written, applying the libretto of Handel's glorious oratorio "Messiah" to the season of Advent with thought provoking daily devotions which transports the text with perspicuity into the context of our own lives as we prepare for the coming of the Christ Child."

- Drostan Hall, Music Director Camerata Chicago

"I love Handel's Messiah. I have sung in it, accompanied it (on the pipe organ!) and listened to it both live and in recordings. But the richness of the piece is not its music, nor its instrumentation, nor its longevity and continued popularity. All these are extraordinary. But something about it is truly beyond-extraordinary. In fact, it is supernatural. The wonder of Handel's Messiah is that all the words are straight from the Bible; inspired by God himself to be read, listened to, meditated upon and treasured in our hearts. Dave and Sally's beautiful book will help you do just that as we head into the busiest time of the year. What better way to stand back, pause, take a breath and wonder in the Messiah, the Saviour of the World. And as you do, may Handel's Messiah - none other than Christ Jesus himself - be your Messiah too."
