James Steele & Esther Steele - Consolation Prized

If you knew you were going to be selecting an instrument you would be playing in church 40+ years later, you might think twice. Ah, but you wanted a challenge, right? And you were willing to cut a new path if needed, all with the attitude that your offering in worship would be to glorify the Lord. Many listeners have said the playing you hear on this album changed their minds about the instrument, never having heard it like this. It jarred their expectation or even their bias - and to hear it in a traditional worship setting brought them around afterward to confess their change of heart. Now this album may not adjust any of your prior notions, and (by design) it certainly will not get your toes a tapping, but you may settle in with the hymn text folder included and have your own worship service. If you get a few goose bumps or your eyes start to 'leak', that's fine. You may consider the deeper meaning of your existence here and your future, based on the claims our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ has made. There is a line in the selection 'Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee', that says 'none but His loved ones know'. We pray that you will be one of His.
