This review is from: Kept for the Master's Use (Paperback)

All of us are familiar with the hymn, "Take my life and let it be". But few of us know the story or author behind it. In this book, the hymn writer herself writes for us her thoughts on this hymn. She brings us through each phrase of the song, and reveals some personal God-fearing thoughts concerning them. Thus we are able to hear from the writer herself, with the thoughts that inspired each line of this traditional favorite.

This book is strongly recommended to all of you, as a short, sweet devotional; small and handy that can be carried around wherever you go! A highly encouraging read that is guaranteed to touch your hearts.
