Reader Reviews:
Marvelous details of the songs that keep us grounded!! (2/2 people found this helpful)
The book is absolutely marvelous. It is a reminder of the songs that I learned as a child that still are a tradition in the African-American Church. It is wonderful to know that I have an additional resource for preaching and teaching. I have chosen to share this with many members of our congregation. There are so many more songs that could have been used, but Ms. Warren seems to have picked the absolute best. God's richest blessings to you!!!
Makes My Heart Want To Sing! (2/2 people found this helpful)
How interesting it is to read some history on spirituals I've known all my life, but never understood the "spirits" they came from. Ms. Warren has opened a door to me and showed me the true beauty of this music. I am especially grateful to have the scores to each of the songs discussed in this book. I was also pleased to find the contemporary gospel section. This is not a sit down and read cover to cover kind of book, but a page flip to "Oh, yeah, I know this song!" kind of book.
