Our Hymns, Our Heritage: A Student Guide to Songs of the Church by Leeman, David

Our Hymns, Our Heritage encourages a love and appreciation for the church's hymns--a significant way to pass the Christian faith from generation to generation. The book features music and lyrics for 121 hymns that every person should know, drawn from a cross-section of styles, themes, and historical eras. The hymns are divided into sections based on the church year, God's nature and attributes, and our responses to Him. Each hymn is presented on single book spread--the left-hand page gives a brief biography of the text's author and the melody's composer as well as a devotional summary to aid singing with understanding. The right-hand page is hymnal-like with the music and stanzas for simple playing and singing. Our Hymns, Our Heritage can be used by parents and educators alike to instill a life-long love for the richness and beauty of hymns.
