Great In Counsel is the fourth CD in our series and is perhaps our most diverse recording. "God Meant It For Good" is a heart-felt musical rendition of Joseph's
poignant message to the brothers who sold him into slavery. The militaristic "The Battle Is The Lord's" recounts the thrilling story of David and Goliath.
On "All Things Work Together For Good" and "Be Anxious For Nothing", soothing girls’ voices create an atmosphere of child-like faith and reverence.
"Iron Sharpens Iron" features a humorous dialog between my son Micah, age 7, and me, Dad (age 54). We trade rhythmic "nonsense syllables" to portray an energetic conversation without words - iron sharpening iron.
You will love the variety of music and depth of meaning on this inspiring recording. The musical settings are written to reflect the meaning of Scripture, to capture its essence in sound.
This is our vision, and we are delighted to offer you Great In Counsel.
The CD includes instrumental-only tracks for memory practice and performance. Recommended for ages 8 and up.
Bible versions used: KJV, RSV, NAS.

Hello there. I used your CD's for the two years that I home schooled my children. We used The Heaven's Declare and Great and Counsel and Mighty in Deed. Not only did the children and I learn scripture by memorizing your songs, but the kids (and I) absolutely LOVED the songs themselves. Your music and creativity and beautiful blend of voices are a work of art. Since then, I have had a baby who is now 20 months old. I recently put in the Great in Council CD for her to listen to while I was getting ready, and she was mesmerized by the children's voices from the start! But I must admit, she is ADDICTED to “Iron Sharpens Iron”, and every time it ends she pulls on me and says "again? again?" What a masterful way to make that scripture both fun and unforgettable! It will for sure be her first memorized scripture!
On a last note, I want you to know how blessed I am by your family's ministry. On so many levels, it ministers to the hearer. Thank you for spending your talents wisely and giving Him much glory with what He has entrusted to you all.

We received Great In Counsel and we LOVE it as I knew we would. We especially love Psalm 8 (We LOVE the church bells) & Psalm 42, and "The Light of life." The music and vocals are so absolutely GORGEOUS! Some of the songs sound similar to the boy's choir we saw (and heard) and England and enjoyed so much. The Scripture CDs have been such a gift to our family. Rachael and Paris love them. I love hearing them sing and hum the Scriptures around the house - even when the CDs aren't on! Thank you for your gift of music that we have enjoyed so much. I'm so happy for your children, that they are so blessed to have received such a wonderful musical and Godly heritage from you.

Wow...no, WOW!! We fell in love with everything about the new Great in Counsel CD. We even found ourselves wonderfully blessed after midnight....listening to the instrumental track as we went to sleep. I salute your hard work, and the manner in which you have presented yourself before God. I can only think of the many families and churches scattered everywhere that will be using this music. You have no idea of the good fruit that will encourage growth within those who soak in the Blessed sound. Indeed this is a new song!!

We wanted to let you know how much we love the "Great in Counsel and Mighty in Deed" CD! We just started our school year this week and are using the Sonlight curriculum with your CD included. My kids started learning Psalm 8 this week and absolutely love it!! They love listening OFTEN to the other songs as well. Thanks for proclaiming the good news through song in such an excellent way. You have a very gifted family and it is encouraging to see how all of you are using your gifts to the glory of God!

"Hi! First I'd like to tell you how much we've enjoyed the 2 discs that we have, God our Provider and Great in Counsel...they've definitely become a family favorite (not only for us, but also for my 4 year old twins). It's so refreshing to have good, Scriptural lyrics set to REAL music, rather than children's Bible songs (which are okay in their place, but...) I feel that they're not only learning Scripture, but also to value and appreciate different forms of music (and therefore other cultures). Thank you so much for your contribuation to educating my children and I hope to hear a lot more from your family in the near future!
