"I am a homeschooling mom and I
have used Sonlight Curriculum for three years now.
Last year, we got the A to Z Sing the Word CD,
and we really enjoyed it. This year, I was also
wanting something new for my children to listen to as
they fell asleep, so I ordered A New Commandment.
I am SO GLAD I got it. I like it EVEN BETTER than the
first one. I just LOVE it. It's very relaxing. It
doesn't get the kids all riled up and hyper. I love
the Jewish instrument sounds. I love the more jazzy
song near the end. I just LOVE it.
The whole morning, I was struggling
with the children, trying to get them to calm down.
They've been unusually loud and rambunctious today. I
didn't know HOW I'd get them to have quiet time
peacefully. Well, your CD arrived minutes before
"quiet time" was going to be enforced. I put it in,
and ALL THREE children, got an art book, sat on the
couch, and LISTENED. No talking. No bickering.
NOTHING. They just LISTENED. I was seriously SHOCKED.
I didn't even TELL them to listen to the CD. This was
nothing short of miraculous. Nap time happened
peacefully, and my oldest is STILL listening to the
CD. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I honestly have tears in my
eyes. I really think God is using this CD to minister
to us today.
I have been frustrated where music
is concerned for years. I seem to have become REALLY
picky. I am bored by almost all the contemporary
Christian music out there, I'm not overly fond of most
"classical" Christian or hymn CDs, and I like a
variety of STYLES of music - but to get one where I
like ALL the songs is a huge challenge.
My husband is a professional musician and he's picky about
what kind of music our children listen to. He doesn't want
them to listen to the "dumbed down" kids song CDs
out there, and he wants them to be exposed to NEW music -
NEW composers and styles, etc. AS WELL as the old. I think
he'll be pleased with the quality and diversity of this CD.
Thank you so much for the effort you put into your music.
Really. I can't thank you enough."

"I thank the Lord for how He's continued to bless your
life and ministry. The children's CDs are
wonderful and I've already shared them with my
grandchildren. Its been some years since you were here
in Brooklyn. I'll never forget how God used you on
your instrument. May the Lord continue to lead and
guide you and your precious family. Sincerely in
Christ,"
Carol Cymbala, director
Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir
"I want to thank you
for your music because your songs really set the tone
for our homeschool days. I made Bible study our first
subject of the day. Every morning, we listen to a song
from the CD, 1 song a week. At the end of the
week, they should have memorized the song/scripture
which then earns them a Bible sticker on their
accomplishments chart. So Steve, you can just imagine
how crucial your CDs are to our homeschool life.
Several times, I have made the girls sing one of your
Scripture songs to our house guests, especially the
non-Christian guests. It never fails to touch people's
hearts. Even at a young age, helped by your wonderful
CDs, my daughters are spreading the gospel and
evangelizing! Thank you once again, Steve and Anne.
God bless you,"

"You're going to love this music from the ministry of a
home-educating family! The parents are trained
musicians who shaped the talent of their wonderful
children. The result is a CD that implants God's
Word in the hearts of your children and mine! The
songs are beautifully written in varying musical styles,
with nothing offensive (and I'm picky!). Includes
instrumental tracks so your children perform the songs
with high-quality music! These are some of our
most exciting finds of the year!"

"The Heavens Declare", the latest Sing The Word®
CD from the very musical Harrow family has very quickly
become one of my favorite CD's from any genre.
And I have to say that being a member of the NY
Philharmonic, I am very particular about what I listen
to when I am not performing myself. The musical and
production quality alone should place this CD at the top
of Billboard's charts and were it not for the fact that
it is devised for a very different purpose and audience,
I believe it would be. And though I could recommend this
CD for purely musical reasons alone, the most compelling
quality is how fully God's anointing permeates it. I
have found it to be a real help in not only retaining
the scripture verses used in the songs, but also as a
faith builder and strengthener in times of trial. I also
love the fact that I can sing the songs with my three
year old and can actually look forward to extended
car travels with the CD in the car! I greatly look
forward to future musical and spiritual endeavors from
the Harrow family. I really can't stress enough how much
we all have enjoyed this CD and the others that you have
made.

"We just bought the three newest ones today. I want
to thank you and your wife for this ministry. We first
bought the A-Z CD through Sonlight Curriculum back when
we used that for home schooling...the STW [Sing The
Word] CDs are a cornerstone for our family's music. The
scriptures our children know best by heart are those
found on the CDs. We particularly like the full psalms
that are on the 2nd and 3rd CDs, and often our children
are singing Psalm 1 and Psalm 24 as they go through
their day. We are very blessed by your efforts as I know
your own children must be. Thank you for helping this
father put God's word into my children's hearts."

"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!"

"I have written before to tell you how your CDs have
blessed my family. I just want to reiterate that
sentiment again as Christmas comes near. It's such a
blessing to wake up in the morning with one of your
songs going through my head. I never learned scripture
as a child, and your CDs have made it possible for me to
carry God's word with me all day long, no matter where I
am or what I'm doing. My children sing your songs all
the time. What a gift you have given us! We are so
grateful."

"THANK YOU! I am a musician and homeschool mom of four children. I started crying after the first few measures of Psalm 24 [from God our Provider]. It is exactly what I have been looking for for my kids. I love every arrangement and am so impressed by the children's voices. I am totally inspired by the Harrow family! The Lord has used your family's artistry to minister to us! Thank you!

"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!"
Jan R.

"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!!"
Pastor John McNamara

"Dear Steve & Anne, Thank you so much for your vision to teach
our children how to hide the Word in their heart through song. My son
Joshua David started with Sing The Word from A-Z, A New Commandment,
and God Our Provider in March. It is only May and he has already
memorized almost all of the songs, he is only two & 1/2. I also catch
him reciting the songs on his own throughout the day! That is ALL he
wants to listen to when he gets in our truck! If I put something else on,
he says, NO MOMMY-SING A SONG! I am committed to teaching him God's Word
and I am telling our friends about your products too. Thank you again for such
quality products, the musical arrangements are beautiful. Please thank your
children for such a wonderful job. I pray God will open the doors for your
products to bless children (and adults) all over this world."

"...With just one listen, a number of verses
were committed to memory. Produced by a musically enterprising couple
and their clutch of very young children, Sing The Word From A to
Z features 26 short Scripture songs, each beginning with a different
letter of the alphabet. There is a wide range of musical styles
and songs are repeated 3 times for memory practice. And if your
children are still at that young adorable stage, you can use the
included instrumental-only tracks for a family recital. This is
ideal listening for the younger crowd, and for those who take care
of them."
The

"A great mnemonic aid. [A “mnemonic” is
a tool used to facilitate memorization.] A mix of children's and
adult voices sing in front of an incredibly wide range of musical
instruments and styles. If the words themselves weren't of interest,
the music would be! ...An artistic and spiritual delight."

"Steve's original compositions are beautiful and inspired
in the true sense of inspiration from the Lord. The children sing
with amazing clarity and phenomenal intonation, and all the musicians
are first-rate! Anne Harrow, especially, sounds truly complete and
beautiful in the flute solos! BRAVO to all of you- what a blessed
family, and you are sharing your blessings with all of us!!!"

"I want you to know how blessed I am by these songs you are
recording with your kids. It's powerful stuff, and the writing and
arranging blows me away. I think I've listened to the "Lift
up your heads, O gates" section of Psalm 24 fifty times! I
think that song is going to be really powerful done live with the
kid's choir. Keep it up!"

"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."

"I recently received the God Our Provider CD.
I popped it right in, and caught my breath when I heard your children's
voices. From all angles, I fell in love with this CD. The scriptures
are a perfect fit for what home-schooling Christian families need
to hear. The music you composed suits the readings to a T and speaks
to the very depths of my soul. The children's voices are up there
with the Vienna Boys Choir, in my very humble opinion. I listen
to your CD whenever I'm in the kitchen (at least half the day, it
seems). The kids love it as well. I'm so happy they're being exposed
to all styles of music. My son especially likes Behold, I Stand
at the Door and If Any of You Lacks Wisdom. Thanks again for your
gift of music!"
Melissa

"I received my [song] book! It's everything I hoped it would
be! And the flute part I desired is there too. Thanks a lot for
your hard work. I love the music. I learned it this year in our
home school. I'm so glad you took the time to put those scriptures
to music. Those songs will always have a special place in my heart.
I look forward to more wonderful music. Keep up the GOOD work!"

"I want you & your wife to know what a blessing your "Sing
the Word" Scripture Songs CDs have been to our family. Last
year, our 5-year-old son learned the A-Z verses. (I learned them,
too!) This year, our 2 youngest children (ages 6 & 4) are learning
the Scriptures from the A New Commandment CD. Thank you for
using your gifts to glorify God & to help others hide God's Word in
their hearts. May God continue to bless you in your work."
Kim

"I wanted to say the CD for A-Z "Sing the Word" is
absolutely wonderful. I HIGHLY recommend it for all ages! My 2 1/2
year old son, is running around singing these songs too. I'm even
learning some new verses."
Tanya
"The songs are great and they include the music without
words at the end of the CD. My son memorized all his verses quickly
last year with no CD, but had not retained them. So we are using
the CD now, and he just loves it, and can often get a verse with
one go through on the song."
