I'd recommend you to listen to Christopher Parkening, the Christian Classical guitar guru. If one were to learn the basics of reading music, or enough of it to interpret tablature properly, then there are going to be unlimited arrangements of all of your favorite hymns available.
I have a friend who is an excellent guitar player whom I'm sure could teach you to play those songs.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
