Essential as an introduction to universal hymnody.

These are the fundamental hymns of my childhood and that of my parents, presented in a historical format that anchors the context in the mind. If I had to choose one hymnbook on that proverbial, largely deserted island, it might very well be this one, especially if I had children to teach about thier heritage of song. But then, of course, the island would be far from deserted. Vital for educators and families, as well as for students of hymnody wanting a place to start.
