MyLittleBears Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) We are learning hymns, but I would like to have us learn more about the writers. We know about Horatio Spafford (It is well with my soul) and John Newton (Amazing Grace) but that is about it. Is there such a book or other resource?

mrssstyle Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Try Hymns for a Kid's Heart by Bobbie Wolgemuth and Joni Eareckson Tada. It explains on a child's level how the hymns were written, talks through their meaning (including tricky vocabulary) , includes written music for each song and a CD to listen to/sing along with. I really like it although we haven't used it much--thanks for the reminder to get it off the shelf! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustybug Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 They aren't children's books, but I have rather enjoyed reading the Then Sings My Soul series. You could maybe just share the stories with your children in your own words after you've read them. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss/183-5043837-6188259?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Then+Sings+My+Soul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
