Then Sings My Soul book review


           I have just finished reading Then Sings My Soul, Special Edition, by Robert Morgan, and I can honestly say that it has been a long time since I enjoyed a nonfiction book so much! The book contains 150 favorite hymns and the stories behind them.
            Whatever your favorite hymn, it can probably be found in this delightful book. From "Amazing Grace" to "Will the Circle Be Unbroken?" and everything in between, Then Sings My Soul has it all. The "Battle Hymn of the Republic," "I'll Fly Away," "Faith of Our Fathers," "O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing"-- they are all there! Two pages are devoted to each hymn. One has the complete hymn exactly as it would appear in a hymnal, so that you can also sing the hymn directly from this book. The other page is devoted to a story about the author or the circumstances of the hymn's writing.
            I don't know about you, but when I like something, I want to find out everything I can about it. And so for me, Then Sings My Soul was a delight. I've been reading the hymn-writers' names in the hymnal every week since I was a little girl, and I always wondered who these mysterious people were who could write such beautiful songs. And now, at last, I know!  I also found Then Sings My Soul to be great for use during my devotions time.

Welcome!

Welcome to The Hobbit's Corner. This is a blog especially for those of you who, like me, LOVE to read. I spend just about every spare minute with my nose buried in a book. And right now, with all that snow on the ground, well, the best place to be is curled up somewhere with a good book.

I will be posting my first book review soon. And then I will continue to post them whenever I can. So stop back as often as you like and see what's new!
