He Keeps Me Singing: Devotions Inspired by Beloved Old Hymns Sherry Lee Hoppe

The singing of traditional hymns has almost disappeared from many churches, but these soul-stirring songs deserve to be preserved because they speak to our hearts in special ways. They focus our minds and hearts on God?s presence, His love, His creation, and countless other facets of the mysterious Being we worship. There are other devotional books on hymns, but many of them are based on the history of the hymn or its writer. While this is important information, this book captures the depth of meaning from the words of the treasured hymns that stir our hearts. Exceptions exist when the story behind the song is so poignant or meaningful that it is included in the devotion or a separate devotion explains the back story; but in most cases, the song?s message forms the core of the devotion.
