This book of stories will bring to life and give new perspective on the origin stories behind 41 of the most well-known Christian Hymns. This is not a sheet music book but it is a story book with inspirational stories that dive deeper into how the authors and composers wrote some of the most iconic hymns that cross denominations and religions. It is not written from the perspective of any specific denomination. Careful attention was placed on ensuring that no matter the religion, Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, Catholic, Non-Denominational, Mormon, 7th Day Adventists or any other denomination would feel comfortable sharing these stories with their congregation. We did our best to avoid including anything in the stories that might be deemed doctrinally controversial. Our hope is that these stories will help increase faith in a higher power, no matter a person’s belief.
The stories are written to be 3-6 minutes and work perfectly for using as a spiritual thought to start a class or meeting. Once you read these stories you will forever look at many of these songs differently and sing them with greater intent. We hope each story bring greater meaning to your worship. Many people have compared the story format and style to the way the radio host Paul Harvey used to share stories.
The book makes a fantastic gift for anyone who loves music and the hymns.
