Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Hymns are to the ear what incense is to the nose: a sense of something beyond rational experience. If this is as true for you as it is for me, you will love this book." -- Peter J. Gomes, The Memorial Church, Harvard University, author of The Good Book: Reading the Bible with Mind and Heart

"I love your book, Simple Gifts. It is wholehearted, goodhearted, and extraordinarily moving -- to me and I'm sure to anybody who treasures the best of the old hymns." -- Wendell Berry, in a letter to the author, quoted with permission

"Simple Gifts provides a wonderful service." -- Chicago Tribune

"Days after reading this book I find many of the melodies and words humming in my brain." -- The American Catholic

"Powerful...thoughtful consideration of [Henderson's] life and the role hymns have played in it." -- Publishers Weekly

"Ardent, vivid, and compelling...Simple Gifts is a wonderful celebration." -- The East Hampton Star

Reseña del editor:

In a world of internet friendships, far-flung families, and a growing sense of alienation in American life, Bill Henderson tells the story of how he found community and joyful camaraderie through the singing of old-fashioned hymns in a small wood-frame country church.
