Designed to be personally reflective, these stories speak to your soul and add depth and meaning as you worship God through song.

Rating:  - great book
i got this book after my friend recommended it, what a great find. i bought an extra copy and donated it to my church library
Rating:  - Beautiful
My husband got me this set for Christmas. Then Sings My Soul volumes 1 and 2. I think the books themselves are beautiful. And the hymn stories are interesting and inspirational. I do our church bulletin and it is nice to include a story on the hymns we are singing. I would recommend these books as a great resource on hymns.
