How Great Thou Art marks the seventy-fifth anniversary of camping at Great Wood, an inspirational and thriving Christian adventure and activity camp, set in the beautiful countryside of the Quantock Hills. Great Wood hosted the first camping holiday in the summer of 1943 and still provides Christian summer camps and outdoor activity holidays for children, teenagers and families. Bill and Elizabeth Carter have collated the contributions of many people who have been involved in the Great Wood story over the years.

Bill and Elizabeth Carter started going to Great Wood as campers in the 1960s and have spent some time there every year in a variety of different camps and roles. They have four children who all grew up going to Great Wood from a few weeks old and still attend as family commitments allow. Bill and Elizabeth were therefore delighted to be asked by the Great Wood trustees to collate the stories of people who have been to Great Wood. It has been a privilege for them to hear people's memories and know the varied ways in which God has used the site to bless youngsters and increase their understanding of His love.
