Here are some client testimonies from past projects.

Dan’s skill set is second to none. Crossway has asked his expert opinion on a number of hymn-related issues, and we are working together on a major hymnal project with Getty Music. Very grateful to God for our partnership!

Douglas Sean O’Donnell
Senior Vice President, Crossway Books

As a pastor of a local church, I felt shepherded by Dan as both a wise musical guide and a sensitive pastoral partner while we worked together on producing a hymnal. Throughout the process of collating songs, hammering out arrangements, and finalizing the details, Dan’s focus was not on producing a product but on getting to know and care for the Christian men and women these timeless truths would teach. When we finally put the hymnal in the pews, our congregation’s volume in worship went up as their eyes while singing went down to see the powerful lyrics Dan helped us put on paper. I’m so grateful to the Lord for Dan’s expertise, artistry, and for his friendship as we worked together to make a hymnal that would elevate our thoughts about Jesus Christ.

Dan and the team at Hymnworks lead a ministry-forward model of hymnal publishing with a Christ-like generosity baked into the process. The experience was as enjoyable as it was edifying, and our congregation now possesses a remarkable collection of hymns and psalms in a beautifully produced hymnal at an attainable price point for a local church. I heartily commend the work of Hymnworks to churches desirous of sound congregational singing.

Dan’s work for us has been quick, professional, and very informative. He has an uncanny ability to render on the page something of beauty and consistency and also to edit the written word with marked excellence… Dan and I just finished a long journey of working together to produce a truly exceptional hymnal, and came in on deadline. If you want the product of your new hymnal or songbook and the process of putting it together to be an enjoyable quality journey, I highly commend Hymnworks.

Dan and his team were amazing to work with. He worked tirelessly and efficiently to set and lay out the hymns we wanted into a beautiful, quality hymnal. Not only did we end up with a top-notch, personalized product with our own logo and title, but most importantly we now have a hymnal which we are in full agreement with every song included. The cost per book with everything included was competitive with anything else out there.
