Even in translation, there was some very enjoyable poetry presented in this work. It made me wish I could read German and get the full effect of these songs lyrics in their original language. There was also some superb theology in these hymns. If you enjoy music, poetry, or theology, I would recommend this book to you.

Some very good poetry and good insight into the theology of Martin Luther. I have to say though that I was surprised that I didn’t recognize even one of hymns. And the only thing that I know of that is written by Martin Luther,is “A mightyFortress is our God” and that wasn’t included!

Very helpful! Loved the background info on each hymn.

Religious texts, not really my thing. Poetry, not really my thing. So why read this? Well, partially because I needed to read something German and some poetry for one of my college courses and this one was good for that, because of its relevance to the time period. I didn't necessarily hate it, but I didn't love it either. One of those duty-reads. 3/5.
