I love Gary Chapman’s A Hymn A Week project, which he began earlier this year as a way to honor his parents. It’s quickly amassed a big following and now there is a companion website.
Chapman has a long bio published on the Hymn A Week Facebook page. I enjoyed reading it, but it leaves out some of the things that make the hymn project so meaningful — the trials of his own life. These include overcoming drug addiction, career disappointments and a very heartbreaking divorce from Amy Grant. You can read about those things in this 2001 article in Today’s Christian Music.
Here is Chapman singing I Surrender All.
Do you have CD’s with these hymns? I checked your website & only saw books for sale.
Would love to have one. If you ever do, please email me.
Love your music.
