The songs of Isaac Watts, Charles Wesley, Fanny Crosby, John Newton, and other hymn writers have been used to challenge the unbeliever, edify the saint, and fan revival fires. Knowing who wrote the words and music and what occasion prompted the writings makes these beautiful hymns even more inspiring. This book contains true and touching background stories of 101 hymns. 283 pages; paper.

“Christ Arose,” “Have Thine Own Way, Lord!” “He the Pearly Gates Will Open,” and “Sweet Peace, the Gift of God’s Love” are just a few of the 101 hymns described. 321 pages; paper.
