"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." Colossians 3:16
In the Holy Scriptures the book of Psalms was called "The Praises" and was regularly used as the liturgical hymn-book in the Temple services, much as today it is the foundation of many of the songs of the church. In all the Bible there is no other book like it, unless paradoxically it might be said that it is like all the others in that it contains the essence of all the Scriptures. Jesus Himself declared He was spoken of in the Psalms and that what was foretold there must be fulfilled (Luke 24:44). A number of the Psalms are fervent prayers of penitence; others are prayers for release from affliction or rescue from the enemy. Some are prayers of trust and assurance. More deal with instruction in matters of right and wrong or teach correct attitudes toward life. Psalms of thanksgiving for God''s goodness and mercy make up a large portion of the book and Psalms of praise of God''s glory and power and majesty are found among those praising His goodness.

I listened to the CD all the way through immediately upon receiving it. It is thoroughly enjoyable and a blessing to hear the Scriptures sung to music. I highly recommend the CD and would encourage everyone to procure a copy for their pleasure and edification. It is also a real joy to know that the Farnum Family lives the gospel and desires that their family, ministry, and music be pleasing unto the Lord.

About the Farnum Family...
The Farnum Family, from Galena, Missouri, is a six-piece family band that plays a lively blend of folk, gospel, bluegrass, novelty and old-time western music. They love to perform tunes that will have you tapping your foot and singing right along, or perhaps take you on a trip down memory lane.
Since forming their band they have played venues in Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin and many times in their home state of Missouri. Besides their many church dates, they enjoy performing fairs, festivals, historic theaters, school assemblies and other family oriented venues. And since 2006, they have been delighted to perform at Silver Dollar City for various festival events.
“Our goal is to glorify Christ and be a blessing to all who hear us. We acknowledge from Whom our talents come and are thankful that we can do something as a family to bring joy to others.”
