I have gleaned these stories from conversations with these wonderful songwriters, from friends who knew them and from periodicals and books of hymnology. Although this book is primarily a devotional volume, the contents can be used as sermon illustrations, Sunday school lesson illustrations or story backgrounds for youth or children's gatherings. Schoolteachers have often found them to be exciting to their students. - Preface.
