OUR HYMN WRITERS AND THEIR HYMNS

It is good to welcome another book about hymns written by someone who knows what they are.
Faith Cook’s distinctive approach gives us 13 main chapters detailing one hymnwriter each, from Isaac Watts to Fanny Crosby. An opening chapter summarises everything before Watts; a penultimate one covers ‘other hymnwriters’, and a final ‘Hymns Today’ virtually means the last century.
