A superb little book about a woman who ‘was unquestionably one of the greatest English hymn writers of her era’. This book is about the people, places and passions of her life. It is packed with helpful and interesting facts about her family, friends and the places where she lived. The book contains easy to follow maps, directions and photos of important places in her life. Did you know about her connections with Wales? The handy maps will guide you to Paraclete Congregational Church around Caswell Bay, Langland Bay and Mumbles, near Swansea. If you go in the summer, call in on the beach mission in Langland Bay! It was in South Wales that she uttered her final words, ‘I so wanted to glorify Him – every step of the way’. Her words reflect the godly, dedicated life she led.
