5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing book for an All Saints' Celebration, July 17, 2007

This review is from: I Sing a Song of the Saints of God (Hardcover)

I bought this book for my 3rd and 4th grade Sunday School class to teach them about the hymn and the saints it referenced. We had a wonderful time learning about Joan of Arc, John Donne, St. Martin of Tours and the others. It sparked excellent conversation about the communion of saints. It would also be an excellent gift for a child of any age.

What a delightful book this is! If you are familiar with the hymn by Lesbia Scott, you will find out who the various figures mentioned are: Doctor, Queen, Shepherdess on the Green, Soldier, Priest, and the one Slain by a Fierce Wild Beast. The book on which this one is based was soft cover, illustrated by Judith Gwyn Brown in black and white, and was dedicated to the rebuilding of the New York City Church, St. Luke-in-the-Fields which had been destroyed by fire. The present hard back book is in color and has been dedicated to the rebuilt St. Luke-in-the-Fields church. It contains the original hymn tune.

This is a wonderful book that introduces the saints to young children through song and pictures they love to look at. My four yr. old loves this book.
