Ordering another for a friend!

For those of you who have used your looseleaf/spiral edition until it has fallen apart as I have, the publisher, Brentwood-Benson has a website (brentwoodbenson.com) on which you can order a black, looseleaf edition of this hymnal. Choose "hymnals" on the left side of the homepage and scroll to find "Hymns for the Family of God." You'll have to register to buy it online but you'll be given directions how to do this.
What I wish
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This book, though published in 1976, has hymns that I consider contemporary together with the old established hymns of the Protestant Church. The meditations and Scripture readings in it are very helpful for planning devotional times with groups. But what I wish is that Hymns for the Family of God could be spiral bound so that I could use it more easily at the piano. I break the spine a little each time I use it, and I wish that were not so.
Exceptional organist/pianist companion!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
As church organist/pianist, I have utilized this hymnal almost every Sunday for the past 20+ years! Hymns from it are suitable for regular worship, at times of meditation (communion/during prayer), for preludes/postludes, as well as, weddings, funerals, and baptisms. To this day I have never found a better compilation of hymns encompassing multiple faiths, all religious seasons, and including all the "old favorites". I'm just ordering my second copy...as the cover on my first one (originally purchased as a gift for me by my mother at a Bill Gaither Trio concert-way back in the late 70's) has finally fallen apart! Don't be without this one! I highly recommend it!
This is an extraordinary hymnal.

All your old-time hymn favorites

This is a must-buy hymnal, used by many evangelical churches. It has all your favorite hymns. Great for congregational hymn-singing. The verses alternate between italics and regular font type, so you'll keep your place.
