Reviews
I LOVE this handy little book.If you are a pastor or worship leader, your people will enjoy hearing the "history behind the hymns". Though our worship style is a mixture of contemporary and hymns, this little book has proven to be a wonderful resource.You can use it before or after a congregational worship service to give your people a real eye-opening experience. Our congregation loves to hear the stories that gave birth to some of these great songs...songs like the doxology (written in the 1600's by Thomas Ken), or "It is well with my soul" (written by Horatio Spafford after the tragic death of ALL 5 of his children), or "Amazing Grace" (written by John Newton, a former slave ship captain who after being saved worked to abolish slavery)These stories are inspiring, and serve to connect people with the history and roots of their favorite Christian tunes. I'm so thankful for this inspiring little book!
