The Wondrous Story Library
Our current library (2024) grows every month and includes To God Be the Glory, What a Friend We Have In Jesus, Amazing Grace, Great Is Thy Faithfulness and more.
Our focus this year is all about the true, Gospel story and its message unfolds each month with a new truth and corresponding hymn.
These are especially familiar and favorite hymns.

START HYMN STUDY TODAYA NoteÂ
When poet and hymn writer William Cowper wrote, “Sometimes a light surprises the Christian while he sings," he wrote truth to which all God's people can relate.
The role of singing and hymns in the lives of God’s people is powerful. And as we see in Colossians 3:16, it’s also purposeful:
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. – Colossians 3:16
The mission of Hymns Illustrated is to help you and your family apply Colossians 3:16 and integrate hymns in your daily walk with God and anticipate Christ's second coming!
My prayer is to help you see for yourself that special light that surprises God’s people when they sing and read biblical hymns of faith.

Behind the scenes. Nearly twenty years ago, Kristen began sending simple Hymn of the Month emails to friends and family from her personal email address.
Today, she’s still doing that via Hymns Illustrated!
When she’s not reading hymns, Kristen enjoys time with her family and church family, tinkering with typewriters and learning guitar.
She also works as a virtual assistant and supports online business owners in Iowa where her husband pastors Faith Baptist Church in Knoxville.
