Fanny Crosby Still Lives

Fanny Crosby Still Lives is a new biography of the blind 19th century hymn writer, Frances J. ("Fanny") Crosby (1820-1915), who wrote over 8,000 hymns (including "Blessed Assurance" and "Safe in the Arms of Jesus"). In addition to her hectic hymn writing and teaching career, and despite being a woman, and blind, Fanny personally championed the cause of the desperate and needy in her local area (New York City and Bridgeport, CT), as well as advising presidents and political leaders and travelling all over the country. Darlene Neptune tells this moving story from her unique vantage point of performing and singing on stage as Fanny.
