Read the true story of one of the world’s most famous hymn writers. Frances—or Fanny, as everyone called her—was blind for most of her life but rejoiced that the first thing her eyes would see would be "the face of Jesus in heaven.” Fanny used her extraordinary musical ability to write hymns we still sing today, such as "To God Be the Glory" and "Blessed Assurance". This beautifully illustrated children's biography of Fanny Crosby (1820-1915) is part of a series designed to show kids that God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things. These stories can be read to young children or enjoyed independently by early readers. Download free extras, such as worksheets, to help children interact with the true story and think of ways in which they can also follow God and encourage his people today. The free extras make these stories useful for Homeschool, Sunday School, missions events, and more.
