Sermons in Song

I had the privilege of reviewing a biography of Johann Sebastian Bach for Booksneeze. I had read a previous biography in the Christian Encounters series and was greatly disappointed but wanted to give it another try. This time I was delighted. From the start, I was intrigued at the connection between Bach’s work and life in music with his faith.

The book was very easy to read. Historical contexts were provided in case you are not familiar with the time period. I would highly recommend this biography to encourage you to do all things to the glory of God. Let the life of the “Fifth Evangelist” minister to you as you see how his faith was the thread behind his life’s work.
