Hymns and History Vol. II in Pre-Production!!

It has been a long time since our last update, but there has definitely been a lot going on with Hymns and History!! The film has been steadily gaining exposure, and has recently been signed by Questar Entertainment for a major distribution release in August. This arrangement has freed us up to begin working on Volume II, which is currently in pre-production phase.  

The time period of Hymns and History Vol. II will likely cover the 17th and 18th centuries, and the four hymns/hymn writers featured will be: 1.The Sands of Time are Sinking (Samuel Rutherford); 2. When I survey the Wondrous Cross (Isaac Watts); 3. And Can It Be (The Wesley Brothers); Amazing Grace (John Newton). Our goal is to be completed by year's end. Tell your friends and stay tuned, more to follow......
