Fanny Crosby: The Girl Who Couldn’t See But Helped the World to Sing is a lovely volume in the Do Great Things for God series by The Good Book Company. This book takes young readers through the events of Fanny’s life. Being born blind, Fanny eagerly anticipated the moment when she would first see Jesus. As a young girl, Fanny memorized eight books of the Bible and began writing songs about God after a dream she had one night.
She is probably most well known for writing the famous hymn, Blessed Assurance. Although this retelling of Fanny’s life is for young readers, I found myself inspired by her story. I love that this series focuses on Christian women and how they lived ordinarily faithful lives. I hope that by reading the books in this series, including Fanny Crosby, my daughters will consider how they might be useful to God’s kingdom. We really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more books in this series!
I received Fanny Crosby compliments of The Good Book Company in exchange for my honest review.
