Stories Behind the Songs & Hymns About Heaven


From the Back Cover

Behind every song is a story . . .

In times of doubt, fear and loss, we turn to the songs and hymns that remind us that this world is not all there is -  that what awaits us as followers of Jesus is a heavenly kingdom.   Songs like  "Face to Face," "Amazing Grace," "Victory in Jesus," and "I'll Fly Away" were written amid circumstances of great personal pain in the lives of the songwriters. In sharing their stories, we can find even more comfort in our own circumstances.  Award-winning author Ace Collins offers this collection of thirty inspiring true stories that provide hope for this world and insight into the next, painting a picture of eternal life filled with joy, peace, and happy reunions. Perfect for music lovers, pastors, hospice workers, counselors, and all of us who have lost someone we loved.

My Thoughts: This is a wonderful book written to encourage us and to inform us of how the songs and hymns came about.    This book can be used as a devotional, or just read for the history and encouragement of the words.   This would make a lovely gift for anyone.  

It is well written and will be an enjoyment for all those who read it.
