Ifyou are looking for secular style music with a powerful message, you'll only get one of those here. The music is, simply put, churchy style music. If you miss church, can't find a place to worship yet or are unable to get out much the cd in this book brings it to you.It can be a powerful tool in your daily battle for the Lord (as an encouragment for your daily walk). I'm definatly not saying this a replacement for the church experience but it can fill in the days or hours between visits to church.
I was under the impression that the story part of this book was a brief but clear history on how each hymn came about. Not so. The writers of this little volume discuss what the hymn means to them and there is a smidge of history. As far as I know, that is, I have only read about 4 pages of the book thus far. So, in essence, I'm reviewing the cd.
