Mr. Pipes and Psalms and Hymns of the Reformation is the second book in the Mr. Pipes series, which provides teens with an engaging study of the historical backgrounds of several hymns from the Reformation era. Annie and Drew continue their adventures with Mr. Pipes as they retrace the steps of some of the great hymn writers of the sixteenth century.
About the Mr. Pipes series:
"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 to instruct two young teens not only 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 vs what music is written for man's glorification. If you have an aspiring musician or songwriter, this set of books would make a lovely gift. Books of this caliber are a rare find for this age group. For ages 12+
