Every Sunday many people around the world sing hymns. This is a documentary about Fanny Crosby, the woman who became blind as an infant but used her other senses to live a normal life. She is best known for writing the verses for many hymns we know today.

Fanny was raised by her grandmother, who read her the Bible and discovered that Fanny could remember just about all of the Bible. Her disability gave Fanny insight into spiritual matters. She influenced many in her lifetime from Presidents to railroad men, from poets to the homeless. All had great admiration for her and her accomplishments.

God gave her a gift, she told those around her, and with that gift wrote over 10,000 hymns using 250 pen names. She wrote 40 in one day at one point. Fanny’s life story is encouraging because no matter what disabilities you face, God also gives you the ability to move forward. This film is the enlightening story of Fanny’s life in the darkness that brought light to so many.

We are proud to award “The Fanny Crosby Story” with the Dove “Faith-Friendly” Seal for all ages.
