Product Description

Hymns with inspiration and meaning in an era lacking hope and confidence.

Music transports us to the heavenly.  It moves our souls and puts courage in our bones. In Hosannas Forever, David and Barbara Leeman include 52 hymns about heaven that speak to the trials, longings, and sufferings we're facing. A one-year weekly devotional, each hymn is introduced with a brief biography of the author who penned the lyrics and a biography of the melody's composer, followed by a devotional summary. The hymn is included on the opposite page.  

The book is divided into three major sections:

1. Our Life Pilgrimage to Heaven

2. Spirituals about the Hope of Heaven

3. Hymns of Our Future Hope in Heaven.

Hosannas Forever also makes a lovely gift and is especially meaningful to those suffering difficulties in this present life, facing a serious illness, or grappling with the sudden loss of a loved one. It is for all who desire to experience the love and hope promised to every Christian.
