I remember writing my first library research report Fanny Crosby and using this book as a source. Her life story is truly amazing. Her trust in God was constant, even through the trials of her life. Imagine writing 8,000 hymns when deaf and blind!

Quite a simple but amazing story!

Revisited this book given to me as a child. It was a decent biography. Some of the story was a bit convoluted and it was difficult to know what years some things were happening. Fanny seems like she was an interesting person. I'd like to read another biography of her sometime.

I read this a long time ago, so I don't remember it well, but I remember liking it a lot at the time.
