{Book Review} Then Sings My Soul, Book 3 - A Hymn Collection

There is a great series of books available for those of you who may be interested in the history of some of the world's most beloved hymns: Then Sings My Soul.  The final installment in the trilogy, Book 3, differs from the first two in that it gives an overview of Christianity's history ranging from ancient to modern. This tome includes songs like "Victory in Jesus," "Thy Word Have I Hid in My Heart," and "Shout to the Lord."

It is fascinating to learn the history of these songs!  "In Times Like These" is a beautiful melodic song. It was written by Ruth Caye Jones during World War II. The lyrics were based on 2 Timothy 3:1: "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come." According to her son, the lyrics and music came to her very spontaneously while she was ironing.

Another part of the book is the chapter entitled "The Real Story Behind 'It Is Well With My Soul.'" That song is included in the first volume, but here Morgan takes the story into much more depth. I highly recommend Then Sings My Soul Book 3.

This title is currently available for $13.17 (37% off) on Amazon - along with Book 1 and Book 2.
