Reviews for Near to the Heart of God

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The majority of the selections were quite good. Some of them seemed to not work well in bringing out the intended point, but some were moving. Overall, a nice set of daily devotional readings.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I used this as a daily devotional. Each entry includes a small passage giving background about a hymn and its writer, a hymn text, and a Bible verse. Each reading is somehow related to the day of the calendar -- the hymnwriter was born or died on that day of the year, the hymn was first published then, some major event in the hymnwriter's life happend on that date, etc. Sometimes the connection with the date is more obscure, but there's always a connection. These are very simple readings, but I enjoyed them and was refreshed by the hymn texts, both the familiar and the obscure.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I always love hymn stories, but this one is less about the hymn stories and more about the hymn writer. I wish the author had used better known hymns. I think the subtitle word "best-loved" may reflect his own position on the hymns rather than that of Christendom in general. Sometimes he used hymns that likely were not sung often even back in my grandmother's days. Many certainly did not appear in hymn books of the last 60 years. I own copies of hymnals prior to this era and did not check them, but I've pretty much memorized the contents of several hymnals dating back 50 to 65 years and never heard those. Fortunately he often told you well-known hymn tunes to which the hymns could be sung. It's still a useful book to use in daily devotional thoughts.
