I grew up in the church, and hymns were something I always loved. In fact, hymns are something that are somewhat "out of style" in most churches today, and I miss them a lot. This was like visiting a friend I hadn't seen in a while. I loved the history in the book, and I also loved the fact that each hymn was printed in the book with the music. I love reading the stories behind all these hymns. Some of them are well-known to me, and some are not. But all of the hymns were written to worship God within the church and even in one's personal devotional life.
The book was very well-organized so that you can easily find the hymns you know and love. This book is set up very well for daily devotions. In fact, I do not recommend that you sit down to read this cover to cover. I tried to do that, and I felt overwhelmed. Read this story by story, and I believe that you will truly be encouraged in your Christian walk. I was most intrigued by the real story of "It Is Well With My Soul." I had never heard the entire story behind my favorite hymn, and now I know it. It makes the song even more meaningful to me. I highly recommend this song to anyone who loves the hymns or wishes to discover them. There is certain to be something that will resonate with you.
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.show more

This book does 2 things. Firstly, it looks at the history of singing in the church. So it looks at how singing started in the early church and how singing developed or took a step back at various points. The second aim this book has is to inform us about the circumstances that caused composers to write the songs they composed. Also the scores of several hymns are inserted in the book to show us the hymns that we might never have sung before.
I think this book is a very comfortable read, conveying each account clearly and simply. It does a very good job in giving readers a summary of church music. I guess that because the history of Christian music isn't crucial to salvation, so we don't teach this frequently. However, it does show the struggles the church faced with regards to music in the past, and I suspect the church today is going through the same problems with music. The church needs to relearn these valuable lessons.show more
