Customer Reviews

Music the soothes the weary soul

The music in this collection will soothe the weary and give the heart an uplifting in this time of darkness in the land. Highly recommended to any who seek the Living God Yahweh.

Wonderful songbook

I love the songs in this book. It is one of the few books that I can play the music and sing the song at the same time because it is not too difficult but doesn't sound like a baby book. I bought one for my voice coach who was moving out West for a new teaching job when she envied the book I had. The music is varied, mostly what I would call old classics; He, When you Walk through the Rain, Bless this House, etc. So worth the price. Prompt delivery. Reader's Digest songbooks are great. I have the Christmas book too.

Nice touch for your Reader's Digest Songbook Collection!

This book has both secular/religious music......just good, inspirational things for the intermediate pianist/singer. Love those spiral songbooks from Reader's Digest! Wish all the publishers used those spirals so we could turn those pages faster. You can't go wrong with this songbook!

Another Great Readers Digest Songbook

Readers Digest has continued their long tradition of providing an exceptional songbook for vocalist and keyboard enthusiasts. I have the entire collection and recommend this one as an addition to anyone's collection who would like short, but quality arrangements of these songs.
