Stories Behind 50 Southern Gospel Favorites

Drawn from scores of personal interviews with Southern Gospel songwriters, these stories behind the songs are sometimes comical, sometimes sad, sometimes heart-warming, but always true-true stories of God's people intent upon finding His peace and sharing their blessings with others who long to feel His touch.
