      The book is well written, and narrated well, by someone who clearly believes what he's saying. It's positive and encouraging to hear the history and lyrics of these much loved hymns. What makes this edition stand out is it's music. You want to hear the music as you are hearing the words and the music is beautifully done. Highly recommended!!

      Great quick look at some of the great hymns of the church. Easy to use for a devotional.
