101 Hymn Stories 40th Anniversary Edition
This wonderful book highlights 101 different hymns with sheet music for each song and the backstory for how and why they were written. Included with each hymn is a brief biography (approximately one page long), the author with their birth and death dates, composer with their birth and death dates, tune name (where applicable), meter, and Bible verse. Features favorites such as A Mighty Fortress is Our God, Day by Day, Amazing Grace, Just As I Am, Jesus Loves Me, and more! Even included are a few Christmas titles such as Silent Night and O Come, O Come, Emmanuel. A neat idea for highlighting song history in church services or Bible/music classes in school. Could even be incorporated into a Bible study or research paper. It’s one thing to hear these great hymns of the faith, but it’s another to know the stories and meanings behind them, which are often convicting. 288 pgs, pb.

Recommended to use during morning baskets! Loved the idea for rich history in the music that worships our Lord!
Gives a new understanding behind the hymns and faith of their authors.
I love hymns and I think learning the history behind them can help build my faith.
I am curious to see how God worked in these composers' lives.
