How Firm a Foundation

Many of the popular choruses sung in today's churches focus on our feelings and experiences, but the great hymns of the faith instruct us about God's nature, His works, and His love for us. In this resource, Dr. Morris explains the great doctrinal truths of 28 well-loved hymns. Music CD also included. From the back cover: Spiritual earthquakes convulse the land today. Floods of compromise wash away firm foundations from churches and individual Christians. In this unsure time, if we quiet ourselves, we hear the lilting music of bygone eras, when familiar, love-drenched hymns sustained entire communities. Standing alone among books today, How Firm a Foundation in Scripture and Song reminds us of our roots in this country, when writers and composers fashioned beautiful songs that carried us away to Beulah Land. Author and speaker Dr. John D. Morris tells us the history of the songs contained in this book, and the sheet music is reproduced. Explaining each song in terms of our Christian faith, he has brought us back to a rich spiritual heritage. Seventeen of these songs are found on the FREE music CD included for your enjoyment. Dr. John D. Morris is the president of the Institute for Creation Research in El Cajon, California. Dr. Morris received his Ph.D. in geology from the University of Oklahoma. Table of Contents:
