Rachael,
I think this book is better than the format downloaded suggested。 The content was good but I struggled with the format and page layout。 Thanks to net galley for the e-arc。
Ashley Hoss,
This book was an absolute delight to read。 I love Joni Eareckson Tada as an author and she gives such great commentaries on the songs she's written about。 This book is enriching and would make a great book to go through as a family as a way to learn about these great hymns。 It also would look great on a coffee table。 This book was an absolute delight to read。 I love Joni Eareckson Tada as an author and she gives such great commentaries on the songs she's written about。 This book is enriching and would make a great book to go through as a family as a way to learn about these great hymns。 It also would look great on a coffee table。 。。。more
Meagan,
It's all too easy to think/wish/hope that the Christian walk is easy。 And yet, we see all too many examples both today and within the Bible that that is just simply not the case。 (But, Lord, if you want me to walk an easy road, I'm okay with giving it a shot。 Just saying。 :D)Jesus says in John 16:33 that we will experience trials and tribulations in this world; Joni Eareckson Tada is one example of that。 She shares parts of her story here in _Songs of Suffering_, along with sharing many others' It's all too easy to think/wish/hope that the Christian walk is easy。 And yet, we see all too many examples both today and within the Bible that that is just simply not the case。 (But, Lord, if you want me to walk an easy road, I'm okay with giving it a shot。 Just saying。 :D)Jesus says in John 16:33 that we will experience trials and tribulations in this world; Joni Eareckson Tada is one example of that。 She shares parts of her story here in _Songs of Suffering_, along with sharing many others' stories--spanning centuries。 Life is anything but easy。 But some of the most beautiful hymns--and frankly songs in general--have been written out of the depths of horrific pain and hardship。 This book brings a sampling of those to light, reminding me I--we--are not alone in pain; not only is it not unique to me or to humankind, but our Savior! He experienced the ultimate! And hymns, both those written many moons ago and more recently (yayyyy Getty team, for one), remind me of so many rich theological truths。_Songs of Suffering_ presents an incredible collection of hymns, both familiar and new to me (and I can't wait to look up the new ones!)。 I love how Tada correlates music with memory; it's so true that setting things to music helps me, for one, remember them so much better。 The formatting on the sheet music was a bit wonky for me (the joys of eARCs), but I'd probably end up looking them up on YouTube anyway to get an idea of the actual tunes。 And the included photography was just stunning!An encouraging read I could stand to revisit many a time over years to come。I received an eARC of the book from the publisher via NetGalley。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

Lauralee,
What a beautiful, beautiful book! I received an advanced digital copy from NetGalley in exchange for a review, but I will be purchasing this book for myself and for everyone I know this Christmas。 These hymns and accompanying stories are filled with so much truth and hope!

Soothing and soulful encouragement to meet Christ and be strengthened while in the depths of your pain。 This book includes 25 hymns (some I knew, some I didn't) accompanied with coordinating devotionals, scriptures, lovely nature photographs, and quotes。 The author's perspective as a quadriplegic person and a cancer survivor are inspirational。 The inclusion of sheet music in this book was a nice touch。 I recommend this for Christians who want something for personal devotion/worship, as well as c Soothing and soulful encouragement to meet Christ and be strengthened while in the depths of your pain。 This book includes 25 hymns (some I knew, some I didn't) accompanied with coordinating devotionals, scriptures, lovely nature photographs, and quotes。 The author's perspective as a quadriplegic person and a cancer survivor are inspirational。 The inclusion of sheet music in this book was a nice touch。 I recommend this for Christians who want something for personal devotion/worship, as well as church worship leaders。Thank you to NetGalley and Crossway for the eARC。 。。。more
