1: Biased, and factually inaccurate
As a musician, music historian, theologian, and hymnologist, I found this book to be extremely biased as well as factually inaccurate. Not only does the author fail to give any kind of bibliography, he attempts to interweave his evangelical prejudice into the history of these hymns. Anyone seriously seeking to discover hymnology would do well to stay away from this book.

2: wonderful
Got this for my dad and he loves it. Often shares the stories of the hymns with his Sunday school class

3: Very uplifting
This is a great book and really fills in the blanks, so to speak. We enjoy coming home from church and looking up the hymns from that morning and learning more about the song writer and the circumstances surrounding the hymn. More often than not it will lead to tears. I would recommend this to every Christian household.

I bought this book as a reference book to be put on my coffee table.
It is a wonderful history of many of my favorite hymns and looks wonderful
displayed on my coffee table. I would highly recommend it!

5: Fantastic
This is a wonderful book for anyone!!... There are songs with the words and music on one side...and the story of the hymn on the other side... Great spiral binding makes it much easier to read and to play from... I just ordered two more for gifts... the large print is a big plus for me as well.... you won't be disappointed with this fantastic book!!
