  What began fifty years ago, when two high school English teachers in a little Indiana farm community began writing songs to express spiritual insights, has become a volume of church standards. In this very personal book, Gloria Gaither takes readers behind the music and shows them the making of the Gaithers' most beloved songs. From as unlikely sources as a single blade of grass, a tornado-ravaged farm, a young boy's bad day, a long session on a lawnmower, and a K-Mart wedding ring have come some of the church's favorite songs. Over the years, as the Gaithers' voices traveled across the world, their songs traveled into people's hearts and hymnals, making this couple the most prolific and popular in Christian music history. Now fans and music lovers can see inside the inspiration and life events that created the songs they sing most, including Because He Lives and Something About That Name. This unique collection is a treasure for the whole family, for those who work with choirs and musicians, and anyone who wants to enjoy, in one place, the amazing songs and lives of Bill and Gloria Gaither.
