Review Quotes

It is common knowledge that nothing breaks down the barriers between people as do songs and music. When these stories of the origin of the hymns we sing are added, it makes singing even more meaningful, increasing understanding, and multiplies blessing.

These are a wealth of information and enjoyable reading. Sword of the Lord There can be little disagreement with the claim that next to the Bible itself, the hymnal is a book of primary importance in the Christian ministry. It is for this reason that I heartily commend Ken Osbeck's book(s) on hymn backgrounds. -- Cliff Barrows "Billy Graham Evangelistic Association" (06/03/2004)

This book should be on the shelf of every pastor and congregational song leader. . .
