  Great Christian Hymn Writers

  $17.99

  Consider the worshipful lyrics of “Holy, Holy, Holy”; the comforting assurance of “His Eye Is On the Sparrow”; the trusting submission of “Have Thine Own Way, Lord”; the bold declaration made by “O for a Thousand Tongues.” They are some of our greatest hymns-and some of the most powerful words in Christendom. Lyrics that help us grasp the reality of faith, set to beautiful music that speaks to our hearts.

  The stories behind the hymns are powerful as well. In this book the authors have detailed the intriguing and often tragic circumstances from which many of our best-loved hymns came. They are stories about the private struggles and personal triumphs these men and women hymn writers experienced-stories that give their already-meaningful songs added significance.

  Great Christian Hymn Writers is a wonderful resource for worship services, devotional talks, and home schools, as well as!for use in your private devotions. And it’s worthwhile reading for anyone who’s interested in learning where these hymns came from and how it is that they continue to affect us so much,

  Gift Of Music

  $23.99

  Additional Info
  One of the finest achievements of Western culture is its brilliant heritage of classical music. A Gift of Music looks at the lives of the greatest composers who have given us this heritage, and especially at how their music was shaped by their beliefs.

  The result is a remarkable and inspiring book, showing the importance of Christian faith for many composers, and the effect of this upon their music. But it also shows how the lack of faith has brought profound change in the meaning and form of contemporary music.

  Thus A Gift of Music seeks to open up a whole new world of music-to encourage listening to the finest compositions with new understanding and pleasure, and to stretch our ears and imaginations. It is a book which will be greatly appreciated by those who already love classical music, and by others who want to explore this delightful world for the first time.
