Birth of a Hymn

Description of Keith Schwanz, author of Birth of a Hymn:

This book is a fascinating look at the spiritual journeys of 20 hymn writers. Drawing on careful, insightful research, Dr. Keith Schwanz gives us glimpses into their lives, their thoughts, and the experiences that shaped their hymns. Included are contemporary writers like Gloria Gaither and George Beverly Shea, as well as voices from the past like Fanny Crosby and Haldor Lillenas. All were chosen for their association with the American Holiness Movement, a little researched portion of our hymnology.
