Spiritually Uplifting!,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Amazing Grace: 366 Inspiring Hymn Stories for Daily Devotions (Paperback)
Every morning I can awake eagerly looking forward to the day's hymn. The tune stays with me throughout the day. What a joy it has been for me and to all those to whom I gave the book. It brings cheer, hope, light to my day and it keeps me singing everyday. God's grace to me daily has been truly amazing.

The greatest devotional I have read (and sung),
By William H Woolley (Columbia, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Amazing Grace: 366 Inspiring Hymn Stories for Daily Devotions (Paperback)
This devotional is unique because it gives the hymn's author and composer and some encouraging background information. I read it to my wife in the morning, and then we sing the hymn if we know it, then read the Scripture portions and then I pray. What a glorious way to begin the day. I highly recommend it.

A Must-Have Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Amazing Grace: 366 Inspiring Hymn Stories for Daily Devotions (Paperback)
Excellent book. It's definitely one of those rare "must-have" books. Starts your day off right if you read it in the morning; or ends your day right if you read it before going to sleep at night.
