Book Review - Then Sings My Soul Special Edition


One word sums up this series of books: Incredible. I cannot describe these books in any other way.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. We have the first two books from the series, and I am very interested in every one.

Growing up in the church, we sang many of these. To read the stories behind them makes these hymns and songs come alive. It breathes new life into them. I find the songs much more meaningful knowing the history behind the song or the writer(s).

This edition was especially timely, as the first hymns are devoted to Christmas songs. I found it very enjoyable to read these songs during the lead up to Christmas.

I would highly recommend all of the Then Sings My Soul books as devotionals. This edition would be a wonderful edition to Christmas and Easter celebrations. I will be re-reading this at a slower pace, most likely during the Lent season.

Get this book today, especially if you grew up with these hymns, like I did, without knowing the history behind the song or writers.

Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their BookSneeze.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review.
