Young presents two hymns for each day of Holy Week, Palm Sunday through Easter Sunday. Each day focuses on an attribute of Christ and talks about the history of the hymns and those who wrote them.
Following along with this book is a beautiful way to use music to celebrate the Easter season. There is power in the magic of lyrics, and the songs mean more when they are coupled with the history of how they came to be written. We are not the first ones to hear and sing these songs with sincerity, and we will not be the last.
Songs are included from European, American, and African American writers. The violence rating is for discussions and mild descriptions of blood, animal sacrifice, and crucifixion.
