As Christians we have an eternal hope, and it is the focus of many beautiful, touching hymns. The stories behind these hymns can be just as moving as the lyrics themselves. In this new gift book, four renowned Christians present inspirational thoughts and histories of 12 beloved hymns, exploring the biblical framework of each and suggesting how those truths can be applied to our daily lives. This beautifully produced book comes with a musical CD of all 12 hymns being performed-some in simple fashion by the authors, and other complemented by full orchestra and choir. Songs include: "Amazing Grace," "My Jesus I Love Thee," "All the Way My Saviour Leads Me" and "Holy, Holy, Holy." Listen to 30-second excerpts from the CD Lead On, O King Eternal My Jesus, I Love Thee How Firm a Foundation Amazing Grace When Morning Gilds the Skies Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah Love Divine, All Loves Excelling More Love to Thee, O Christ All the Way My Savior Leads Me Holy, Holy, Holy When He Cometh, When He Cometh (full song) He Leadeth Me: O Blessed Thought Problems?

Ifyou are looking for secular style music with a powerful message, you'll only get one of those here. The music is, simply put, churchy style music. If you miss church, can't find a place to worship yet or are unable to get out much the cd in this book brings it to you.It can be a powerful tool in your daily battle for the Lord (as an encouragment for your daily walk). I'm definatly not saying this a replacement for the church experience but it can fill in the days or hours between visits to church. I was under the impression that the story part of this book was a brief but clear history on how each hymn came about. Not so. The writers of this little volume discuss what the hymn means to them and there is a smidge of history. As far as I know, that is, I have only read about 4 pages of the book thus far. So, in essence, I'm reviewing the cd.
