About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Watt's Songs Against Evil by Isaac Watts. Read in English by Bruce Kachuk This small volume of inspirational verse is a collection of the timeless work of the hymnist and theologian, Isaac Watts. Carefully and tactfully conceived, each of these motivational poems contains a valuable lesson relevant to youth's quest for moral guidance in a world of uncertainties and unknowns. But lest these poems be construed as pedantic lectures demanding righteous behavior, the listener will be pleased to discover instead a series of uplifting narratives intended not to admonish but to advise, not to reprimand but to recommend. These are poems that compel one to consider choosing a life journey along a path of personal happiness and self-fulfillment. They are poems that offer life-changing guidance to those with a thirst for understanding and a hunger for wisdom. - Summary by Bruce Kachuk
