 Wonderfully Inspirational Fake Book! September 1, 2008
I am 60 years old and grew up in a "mainline" Protestant church. I know many, many of the hymns in this book and now I get to REALLY read and understand them better. I play them at home for my own enjoyment on either my piano or organ. I have directed and sung in many choirs and ensembles and have also done some solo performances. I "switched" to an evangelical worship style as an adult and learned an even greater repertoire of spiritual songs, and many of those are in this book too. I keep other fake books of praise songs that were written in the most recent years. But this is the book I return to for my private but often joyful worship at home. I even grab it so I can sing along to the same hymns when they are played on the radio! If your background is remotely similar to mine, buy it and you won't be disappointed!
A great tool for organists and church bands May 24, 2007

This book is amazing! More hymns than you can shake a stick at. Earlier people gave the book a lower rating because they didn't know all the hymns. That's silly. The book has almost a 1000 multi-denominational hymns, you can't expect to know every single one! I recommend this book to church bands, organists, and anybody who likes hymns or fake book music or both. A great tool to learn on.

Reading the above reviews I wasn't sure about the book but I bought it anyway. Iwould have to say that it certainly has many hymns I am familiar with and covers the "Living Hymns" hymnal we use in the Baptist church I go to fairly well. I gather if you are Anglican or Uniting your milage may vary significantly so check out the index first.
The book is easy to use and well laid out. Chords are very good and have had no difficulty transposing them to the same key as the organist plays and playing along (this is not always as straigforward as it sounds as some of the chords you get off the free sites just don't sit well with someone playing from the music).
If you recognise a reasonable number of the hymns from the contents page then buy it you won't be dissapointed. If you don't recognise most of the hymns then this is probably not what you are looking for.

I was disappointed in the selection included in the book. There were a number of "good ones," but the book contained mostly nondescript works.

An enormous collection of hymns, from many different hymnals. Many "old chestnuts" in easy to read and play format. This book was a lifesaver when I became a church organist, and I still use on occasion. It does what it does very well, but it has a fairly specific tareget.
