REVIEW
This book reads more like a textbook or reference book than what I was expecting. It is packed full of history and weaves American history and Southern Gospel into a beautiful tapestry.
I received this book free from the author, publisher, or other source. My only obligation is to provide a fair and honest review.
My Life in Our Father's World 
That sounds like a really interesting book. I find hymns to be very inspirational and pure poetry in many cases. I assumed the Southern Gospel Music you are referring to was born of the hardships of people, but on looking up the term it seems that it has many definitions and can refer to traditional white or black gospel songs–or both.
