Warning: does not come with CD

It stated that the CD was included but it arrived without it, so I emailed thinking that they would just send it to me separately. No, instead it said that no book/CD could be guaranteed because these products are used. They also said they had no way of looking to see which books had the CD or not! Are they robots? They don't have a human with eyes and hands just to see if the CD was there? What a disappointment! I bought one of Joni's kids song book and it had the CD so I was ready to order them all...not so fast because they cannot guarantee!!

What a blessing!

I am listening to my copy of the CD as I order three more copies of this fabulous book and CD to give away. What a deal! Easter is only a week away and the hymns in it are most appropriate to express our joy at Christ's redeeming work on the Cross and His glorious resurrection. Today's modern "worship" music can NEVER compare to rich and beautiful hymns of better days.

Learn the story behind the song

This book and the other three in the series will give you a new appreciation for hymns that you probably learned a few years ago. Besides background on the hymn, the authors have also supplied a CD with a nice choral arrangement of each song. The art work, print quality, and music is all excellent.

Powerful, Emotional, and Uplifting

I heard about this series of three books with their accompanying CDs from from a radio interview with Joni. She was expressing concern over how Christian music is losing its depth of meaning and its doctrinal reinforcement.Joni has succeeded in selecting and rendering some of Christendoms most relevant hymns to encourage and edify the Church and the Lord jesus Christ. The reader/listener will find him or herself elevated and singing along with these classic hymns (words and music are included in the book). If you have never been moved to tears over a hymn, these renditions may do it!"What Wondrous Love Is This" captures in a very powerful and moving way what Christ has done for mankind.Vocals range from solos to choral music accompanied by the humble piano or full orchestra. The tone is not loud or brash. Joni's humble character comes through in the way the book was designed and the way the music is performed.I highly recommend adding all three books in the series to your library. I give copies away to encourage others spiritually.
