Grace & Peace: Tim Bruster's 365-Day Journey Through the Bible, With a Hymn Every Day
Grace & Peace: A Daily Guide for Deepening Faith by Tim Bruster, published by Five Crow Press — 365 daily readings through the whole of Scripture, with a hymn for every day.
Four decades in the pulpit, distilled into 365 daily readings through the whole of Scripture, Genesis to Revelation — with a hymn for every day.
I didn't set out to write a big book. I set out to help people live with Scripture the way I've tried to — one honest day at a time.”
FORT WORTH, TX, UNITED STATES, September 29, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In a moment when many people feel their footing slipping, a veteran pastor and biblical scholar is offering a steadier way to walk through the year. Five Crow Press has announced the release of Grace & Peace: A Daily Guide for Deepening Faith, by Tim Bruster — a daily companion that travels the entire arc of the Bible, Genesis through Revelation, in 365 short, plainspoken readings, each pairing a passage with a reflection and a hymn.— Tim Bruster
It isn’t a reading program to complete or a devotional to skim. Grace & Peace is closer to a credo for daily living — a way of letting the wisdom of Scripture shape an ordinary day. Grounded in serious theology yet warm and accessible, it belongs to no single church or denomination, only to the love of God and the teachings of Jesus Christ, which makes it a book readers across traditions — and none — can hand to a friend.
The hymns are what set it apart. Every daily reading closes with one — its title, composer, and year — an invitation to seek it out and read it, listen to it, or sing it. Several early readers singled the pairing out as the book’s most distinctive feature.
At 858 pages, Grace & Peace is deliberately substantial — and deliberately unhurried. It is a couple of pages a day, and a reader can begin on any date of the year rather than waiting for January.
Bruster brings a rare combination to the page: the heart of a minister and the mind of a scholar. Former senior pastor of First United Methodist Church of Fort Worth, he has also served at the highest levels of his denomination, as a Lead Clergy Delegate to the UMC General Conference. Colleagues and readers describe him the same way: a trusted, approachable guide who knows Scripture deeply and knows people and their problems just as well.
“I didn’t set out to write a big book. I set out to help people live with Scripture the way I’ve tried to — one honest day at a time. If Grace & Peace helps someone find their footing when the world feels like it’s tilting, then it has done its work,” said Bruster.
Advance praise includes Bishop Ruben Saenz Jr., President of the Council of Bishops of The United Methodist Church: “Grace & Peace is a tender, wise companion for all of us who live with limits, missteps, and unanswered questions, yet still desire to trust God more deeply.” C. David Grant, professor emeritus of religion at Texas Christian University, calls it “a masterful weaving together of solid biblical scholarship, hymnody, contemporary authors, and personal experiences — all of which make the Bible come alive for today.”
The book is also built for groups. Its 365 readings put a class, a small group, or an entire congregation in the same passages day by day, and Five Crow Press offers a church and group price to congregations, Sunday school classes, and study groups ordering direct.
