Have you ever wondered what silent night actually inspired “Silent Night”?

The Songs Tell the Story is an Advent Devotional that shares interesting trivia and the origin stories of 25 well-known Christmas songs and hymns and answers questions like the ones above.
Written in 2019 by Janet Denison, this devotional also provides biblical encouragement for the season, making clear the connections between the songs we know so well and the gift of Jesus we celebrate at Christmas.
Janet is not only a loving mother and grandmother, but a seasoned Bible teacher and preacher’s wife for the past four decades who has a true gift for identifying God’s truth in every season (including Christmas).
