Suffering and Song: Lives of Hymn Writers

Suffering and Song is a collection of biographies of our most popular hymn writers. For most of them, the artistic creativity grew out of their suffering, which their faith transformed into expressions of trust and hope. The richness of expression heard in these hymn words becomes even more meaningful as we learn about the personal lives of their authors. This revised edition includes six additional female hymnists. These inspiring stories about hymn authors are a valuable resource for Sunday School classes, speeches or presentations to Bible study groups, youth meetings, women's gatherings, men's groups, sermon illustrations, and personal reading.
