Her Heart Can See: the Life and Hymns Of Fanny J Crosby

Her Heart Can See offers an intimate- informed look at Fanny J. Crosby (1820–1915)- the most prolific of all American hymn writers. Having lost her sight in infancy through a doctor's negligence- Fanny went on to compose more than 9-000 hymns- as well as various other songs- cantatas- and lyrical productions. Crosby's hymns- including such all-time favorites as "Blessed Assurance-" "Pass Me Not- O Gentle Savior-" "Jesus- Keep Me Near the Cross-" "Rescue the Perishing-" "Safe in the Arms of Jesus-" and "I Am Thine- O Lord-" continue to be sung around the world.

Celebrated in her own day for her gospel hymns- Crosby was also very publicly involved with New York City's rescue missions and with other benevolent efforts. She rubbed shoulders with the likes of Henry Clay- Grover Cleveland- Winfield Scott- Dwight L. Moody- Ira Sankey- Jenny Lind- P. T. Barnum- and many other famous figures who people these pages. More than two dozen black-and-white photographs depict the people and settings among which Crosby moved.

Drawing on primary sources -- including thousands of unpublished Crosby manuscripts -- Edith Blumhofer sorts fact from fiction in the life of this remarkable woman. Blumhofer responsibly limns Crosby's life as a gifted nineteenth-century northeastern Protestant woman- in the process showing why "this diminutive woman" was -- and is -- so beloved.
