Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made

Fanny Crosby's celebrated autobiography chronicles her life and
achievements writing Christian poetry and hymnals in amazing
quantity. Renowned as one of the 19th century's greatest hymn
writers and lyricists, Fanny Crosby was the victim of grave
misfortune during her infancy. As a baby only a few weeks old, her
eyes became inflamed - the doctor visited by her family suggested a
procedure to alleviate the symptoms, but it was a failure: Fanny
became completely and permanently blind. Despite this grave loss of
sight, the young Fanny proved a bright child and a capable student.
In particular she had a gift for words and was markedly devoted to
the Christian Lord. These two attributes would soon characterize
her rise to renown; as well as publishing well-received and
celebrated hymns, Fanny was diligent in accomplishing mission work
far from home.
The author of over 8,000 hymns that remain today at the very heart
of Christian worship around the world, Fanny J. Crosby can be
ranked among the greatest Christian hymn writers of all time. Her
songs are woven so intricately into America's spiritual life that
there is scarcely a hymnal that does not include one of her
memorable pieces. Through lyrics that evoke in us times and
experiences long forgotten, her hymns have lost none of their power
to express the truth about God's work and love. Herein are her
memories of eighty years. Told in her own words, this book relates
her story of a life characterized by great spiritual depth and
profuse creativity. Though blind since infancy, Fanny Crosby
overcame great prejudice to become a poet and teacher, much beloved
and respected. She lived a remarkable life and her passion for God
infused her lyrics with evangelistic zeal that points people to a
loving and welcoming Lord.
