"The theologian is for the educated few; the preacher is for one
generation; the hymn writer speaks an imperishable language."
This provocative quote provides you with the essence of the Mr.Pipes series. Mr. Pipes, an elderly man, takes it upon himself not only to instruct two young teens on the origins of many hymns but also to nurture them in their newfound faith. It is exciting to watch these teens mature spiritually as they eagerly learn more about their Savior by studying both their Bible and great hymns of faith.
With accurate recounting, Mr. Pipes makes both the hymn writers and the hymns come alive. Better still are the theological morsels sprinkled throughout the books, tidbits designed to address the teens' behaviors and beliefs. What a great way to challenge your child to ask himself: what music is worshipful, and what music is written for man's glorification? If you have an aspiring musician or songwriter, this series of books would make a lovely gift. Books of this caliber are a rare find for this age group.
Mr. Pipes, an elderly man, takes it upon himself not only to instruct two young teens on the origins of many hymns but also to nurture them in their newfound faith. Collection of four titles includes: British Hymn Makers, Psalms and Hymns of the Reformation, Mr. Pipes Comes to America, and The Accidental Voyage.
