4 There Will I BeCraig Courtney. By combining
two scriptures from the books of Ruth and the gospel
of John, Craig Courtney has fashioned a compelling
essay on friendship and brotherhood that reaches to
the depths of the soul. Noble musical gestures and

in churches for missionary commissions, and an
equally penetrating sacred concert work for military
tributes or memorial services.
