Author, humanitarian, and the first woman to speak before Congress, Frances ("Fanny") Crosby (1820-1915) wrote more religious hymns than anyone else in history (with some estimates topping 10,000, all of which were penned after she turned 40). Part of the Testimony biography series, which presents "life changing stories about people of faith," The Fanny Crosby Story chronicles Crosby's inspirational life, from her childhood blindness after being stricken with an eye infection, through her years as a tireless advocate for the poor and sick, and her later career as an amazingly prodigious hymnist (she is best known for "Safe in the Arms of Jesus"). Although not well-known today, Crosby was a widely-recognized and admired person in her day. DVD extras include a director's commentary track and outtakes. Recommended. Aud: P. (J. Carlson)
