Fanny Crosby's Memories of Eighty Years - Paperback

by Fanny J. Crosby (Author)

Fanny Crosby's Memories of Eighty Years is a delightful recollection of her life's work to labor for the Lord, which she did with purity of thought, action and deed. A renowned hymn-writer of over 8000 hymns, her writing was always one of painting pictures in the mind. But after she was saved, her God-given talent for writing hymns and poems rose to new celestial heights; her star of promise became an orb of light. For over 30 years she spoke at missions including the Bowery Mission in New York City, Young Men's Christian Associations, Sabbath schools, and churches of many creeds. She won people to Christ by the Living Word delivered with kindness, as a balm of comfort, and with spiritual assurance that one's true home is seated in the heavenlies. Fanny Crosby wrote this memoir with a refreshing honesty and transparency that endears her to all who read it.
