KIDS/FAMILY: Children's Storytelling, SPIRITUAL: Contemporary Gospel



Details:
Two energetic grannies have been collaborating to write childrenâs Bible songs for almost 20 years. After teaching Bible lessons and singing traditional childrenâs praise songs, Cathy and Paula volunteered to try to write songs which matched the Bible stories. Reports came from parents that their kids were singing these NEW songs day after day. Joy was so much on the rise that the two âsinging teachersâ went prospecting, looking through old sheet music and song books for treasured tunes to fit the feeling of each scriptural message. A divine synchronicity emerged, resulting in over 600 Bible songs, tested and approved by a generation of happy, Bible-infused children. Their first professional album was a Grammy contender in 2004, and six of their singles were on the 2005 Gospel Music Award ballot. ELEVEN songs were on the ballot for "Most Inspirational Single" of 2006!!!

The BIBLE This album of THIRTY-TWO all new songs is in response to our customers! The goal is to inspire an appreciation for the Bible, with elementary-age appropriate information. Parents especially asked for songs to learn the names of the 66 books of the Bible â done; in fact, with three different tunes plus two spoken rhythmics!

These original, refreshing songs emphasis what the Bible is (Godâs speaking) and why we read it (our necessary food). Scripture references are from both Old and New Testaments. Tunes vary from âOh, For 1,000 Tonguesâ, âBrahmsâ Lullabyâ, "Sloop John B" , "Pachebel's Canon in D", and âTwinkle, Twinkleâ (actually a Haydn melody). Parents will not get tired of it in the car, and children will be singing it over and over!
