David Goettee: Author

Mr. Goettee wrote various types of publications throughout his multiple careers. This eBook takes him into a new foray into history. He chose to tell the histories from a more popular, non-academic perspective. He spent a number of years researching numerous sources for related history information about:

• Each of the 27 hymns and songs included on the Hymn and Songs for Living audio album. The goal is to assemble the histories in a fashion that enable readers to understand how the histories influenced writing each hymn and song; and


• Finding and piecing together the over arching summary history appendix that provides an overview of points from the past 2 millenia that impacted development of congregational hymn singing. (That could be considered a project of its own.)

Relevant reference sources are provided in the extensive footnotes with hyperlinks throughout the book to enable readers to easily follow up, as desired. A guiding principal for references cited in the book is they should be easily available to facilitate readers' access to the reference materials. Thus, an emphasis was placed on sources available via the internet.
