Well With My Soul, By Rachel Phillips

Discover the stories—and the special meaning—behind four favorite hymns of the faith: 

 

“It is Well with My Soul,”

“Like a River Glorious,”

“There Is a Fountain Filled with Blood,”

“Let the Lower Lights Be Burning.”

 

Meet Horatio Spafford, Frances Ridley Havergal, William Cowper, and Philip P. Bliss, the courageous eighteenth- and nineteenth-century hymn writers who overcame great trial and tragedy to pen some of Christendom's greatest songs.

 

Compelling personal stories -- of a shipwreck that claimed precious daughters, of faith amidst frailty, of debilitating depression, and of death in a burning rail car--show God's power to make everything well with our souls, no matter what the circumstance.  You’ll be inspired by their lives as you are by their Hymns.
