This book includes 150 devotional-style stories of hymns for Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and many more all-time favorites. Music and lyrics to each hymn are included.

This book is about very popular hymns and a brief history on how the hymn came to be. Each hymn is displayed in the book and the following page gives a brief history of the song. By understanding how the hymn came to be, the reader can appreciate and have a better appreciation of the hymns sung in many churches each Sunday.

I really enjoyed this book. I found the history to be short but informative. I also appreciated having the song right next to the story of the song's origin. I found myself singing several of the hymns and having a deeper love for each song. This book would be a great gift to the music-lover in your family. ( )

I loved reading how many of these songs came to be. Many of the stories were truly inspiring. To think that some songs came about because of tragedy, love of a King, love of a child or from someone's own personal experience was often heartwarming.

I love the fact that not all the page edges were straight cut. Some had a torn uneven look that was a welcome pleasant change.

As a fledgling pianist, I also love the fact that every song whose story was portrayed also had sheet music available within the book. So, not only was I able to read this book, but I was able to play the songs within it as well! I was in Heaven! =)

Overall, this book is a multi-tasker. You are able to learn how your favorite hymns came to be while being able to play those hymns on a piano at the same time. It was a lovely experience through time and music ( )
