Joy to the World

The Stories Behind Your Favorite Christmas Carols

About this book

<b>Hymn stories behind Christmas classics from the best-selling author of <i>101 Hymn Stories</i></b><br>
<p>While many of the hymns in <i>Joy to the World</i> have been around for centuries, they continue to fill people with awe and praise during the Christmas season. During an over-commercialized holiday, these songs gently re-center readers on the joy that comes with knowing that God sent his Son for them.</p>
<p>Inside this new edition, readers will find hymns such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>"The First Noel"</li>
<li>"O Little Town of Bethlehem"</li>
<li>"O Come, O Come, Emmanuel"</li>
<li>"Silent Night"</li>
<li>"Away in a Manger"</li>
<li>"Joy to the World"</li>
<li>"Go, Tell It on the Mountain"</li>
</ul>
<p>Each chapter includes the hymn text and a short reflection that provides an inside look at the history of the hymn's creation. Longtime hymn lovers, Christmas carolers, and Osbeck fans will enjoy discovering the stories behind the songs they sing each year.</p>
