Book of Hymns - Soul Food AND Respectable Scholarship

I ordered Book of Hymns as a Christmas gift for my wife -- hoping against hope that it would be a cut above the usual hymn history pablum. I was not disappointed. I couldn't put the book down! The authors have really done their homework, combining their own devotional thoughts with details from the hymnwriters' personal lives. Now it's on sale -- and I'm ordering two more! Highly recommended. Johnny Long Presbyterian Church in America World Harvest Mission ("The Sonship People") Africa Renewal Team Nairobi, Kenya East Africa
