Description

This 340-page volume contains crisp and stirring biographical sketches of fifty of the world's greatest hymn-writers. The focus in this book is on the hymn-writers themselves rather than on specific hymns, which sets the book apart from most in this genre.

"Hymns and their authors are a fascinating subject. So often the life story of the hymn-writer, or some incident from it, finds expression in the form of a hymn that then becomes a means of blessing to many thousands of people. In compiling this collection of brief biographies of some of the great hymn-writers, Mrs. Elsie Houghton has put the Christian world in her debt. She has sketched in some of these remarkable details of their lives that can help us to appreciate at a new deeper level words that we have sung and loved for years. To have done so in a manner that always keeps our interest and is so easy to read should guarantee that this book will be welcomed wherever great hymns are appreciated." --Graham Harrison, Joint Editor of Christian Hymns

Comment
There is such a godly heritage of the church in hymns that it is sad many modern believers lack the resources to know them better and even their authors. I am thankful for this volume that highlights the godly lives of the authors of so many of the godly hymns we enjoy.
