David Goettee

Mr. Goettee has been writing various types of products throughout his multiple careers. This book is his first foray into history told from a popular perspective for non-academic readers. For this book he spent a number of years researching numerous sources for related history information about:

• Each of the 26 hymns and songs included on the Hymn and Songs for Living audio album. The goal was to assemble the history back stories that influenced writing of the hymns; 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 could be considered a project of its own.

Relevant reference sources are provided in the extensive footnotes throughout the book to enable readers to 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.
