Songs of Praise
The Nation’s Favourite Hymns
by Andrew Barr
GoodBookStall Review:
Forty of the most popular hymns in Britain, as voted by a poll of viewers of Songs of Praise, have their stories told in this beautifully illustrated and presented book. Not just bare histories of how the hymns came to be written and by whom, Andrew Barr gives us anecdotes of the writers, tales from history, occasions when the hymns were sung on the programmes and so much more. Hours of pleasure for many who know these hymns through weekly worship, or through the television programme. A very special book.
