The words from the internationally-known hymn Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound perfectly encapsulate the life of author Doris J. Grace—from her love of music, her surname Grace acquired upon marriage, her faith, and being saved by the loving grace of God. This memoir chronicles Doris’ childhood—a carefree era in the midst of the Depression spent roaming the Missouri Ozarks—and the changes that World War II imposed on her simple country family. How Sweet the Sound tells of an earlier life as a dutiful daughter, wife, and mother, and later years when she and her husband traveled to six continents and more than seventy countries while leading study tours and mission trips. Full of life and personality, How Sweet the Sound paints an engaging portrait of a carefree childhood and a fulfilled adulthood. This memoir brings characters to life simply and vividly to tell the story of an ordinary person who has lived an extraordinary life.

It includes a biography, 1,550 catalogue records and 700 images of the estimated 3,000 works of art painted by Haughton Forrest"........[Members of The Forrest Project] compiled a web-based catalogue that included a history of Haughton Forrest and his family, an inventory of his paintings, with information on provenance and ownership, and a virtual 'gallery' of images of as many paintings as could be obtained. This pooling of energy, enthusiasm and expertise has achieved a great deal. It now finds monumental expression in this splendid book that will stimulate wider interest in Forrest and provide a solid foundation for further research and reappraisal of his work."Michael BennettProfessor of HistoryUniversity of Tasmania
